The Perrysburg Messenger Journal office, 130 Louisiana Avenue, is collecting winter accessories for distribution to area families in need this holiday season. Residents are invited to hang new mittens, gloves, scarves or hats on the tree. As a special incentive, anyone who donates can enter to win a $100 gift certificate to Rose and Thistle Pub and Restaurant in downtown Perrysburg.

Residents may bring the items to the Journal office Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., through Thursday, December 14. The gift certificate winner will be drawn on Friday, December 15.
