There's still a community need in Dartmouth North for more winter clothing! There is a small collection of supplies at the Dartmouth North Library (276 Windmil...l), but it continues to need to be replenished. The library is looking for new items or "like new" --- especially mittens, boots and coats. Used items get disinfected by a steamer & quarantined for 24hrs. Please help if you can. See more
