SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. -
Believe it or not -- 'Tis the season for the Channel 3 Mitten Tree.
Our partnership with the UPS Stores in our viewing area starts up for the 2012 season today.
Donations of new and handmade hats, mittens and scarves are welcome at the store locations and here at Channel 3, 30 Joy Drive in South Burlington, to help struggling families stay warm this winter. Items for children and adults are accepted.
