​Mitten Tree Free Range Charity
 
I have a vision.  I have a vision where people who need stuff, can just get it.  
 
Take away the paperwork.  Remove the complications.   Make it simply about giving and taking.
Keep it Simple.  Make it free range. HENCE, THE MITTEN TREE
 
HERE’S HOW TO SET IT UP 
 
Find a place that is easily accessible to the public.  Obtain permission from a resident or business to use their space.
 
Ask your community to make, and or purchase mittens and other items to keep people warm, like hats and scarves, and have people decorate the designated tree or fence or whatever with these items that are free to whoever needs them.

Those that need them, can just take them.

If you’ve got something free for the taking, make it just that.  Free for the taking, no scrutiny.  No judgement.  No justifying your situation.  Simply free for the taking.
