Support The Mitten Organization's Mission

We are two high schoolers who founded The Mitten Organization after noticing the rising poverty and lack of access to appropriate clothing in New York City. Our mission is simple: to combat clothing insecurity and ensure that everyone has access to the warm, suitable clothing they need.

Our inspiration came from seeing children and families in our community struggling to stay warm during the harsh winter months. We started with small clothing drives at our school, and with the overwhelming support of our community, our initiative has grown significantly.

We collect gently used and new clothing and distribute them to those in need through local schools, shelters, and community centers. Our focus is on providing warm winter clothing, such as coats, scarves, gloves, and hats, to help individuals and families face the cold with dignity and comfort.
