🧣 Help Keep Our Guys Warm This Winter 🧥

As the cold weather approaches, we’re asking for help collecting winter clothing donations for the men here at Mockingbird Hill. Our residents are working hard every day to rebuild their lives in treatment and recovery, and having warm coats, gloves, sweaters, pants, hats, and boots makes a world of difference as they take those next steps forward.

If you’d like to contribute gently used or new winter items, donations can be dropped off at Mockingbird Hill or send us a message and we’d be happy to coordinate a pick up.

Thank you for helping keep our guys warm, safe, and encouraged this season 🩵
