MANSFIELD — The Kiwanis Club of Mansfield has partnered with The Richland County Foundation for the Day of Giving on Dec. 2. Early giving is already underway.

Donations of hats, gloves and socks may also be made in person at the office of Helen Brown CPA LLC, 685 Logan Road, Mansfield, Ohio 44907.
“As the weather starts to get colder, we’re noticing children coming out of school to get on the bus without warm hats, gloves and winter socks. Most of the kids wait 15 minutes or longer in the morning at their bus stop in the cold. We are grateful to The Kiwanis Club of Mansfield for their dedication to helping our kids stay as warm as possible this winter,” Friendly House Executive Director Terry Conard said.
Richland Gives is designed to encourage people to contribute to local nonprofits they care about through a single giving website. The Richland County Foundation hosts the day to build capacity, grow philanthropy and make the community stronger.
