Mitten Tree
It was another record year for donations to the Dorothy Steiger Memorial Mitten Tree! There were 297 pairs of mittens, 147 hats and 37 scarves collected during the month of December. Coats, slippers and socks were also donated. The items were given to Fairfield County Job & Family Services to be distributed to families in need.
Local Girl Scouts kick off the Mitten Tree donations each year, with several troops donating and the girls gathering to decorate the tree at City Hall with Mayor Gray. After the girls finish their work, residents stop in and add to the tree or simply drop off their donations.
The late Dorothy Steiger, a longtime Pickerington resident and community servant, started the Mitten Tree in 1990 and the City has honored her memory by continuing to collect donations every year.
New Police Hires
Congratulations to the newest members of the Pickerington Police Department. Officers Justin Reeves and Marty Norris were recently sworn in by Mayor Gray. Officers Reeves and Norris were previously with the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department. Welcome to Pickerington!
