Spirit of Giving at MPL
Remember those in need this holiday season with our Giving Tree and ToileTree. Grab a tag from our Giving Tree to provide needed resources to a local organization or help us adorn our ToileTree with travel-sized toiletries to benefit local shelters. Thanks to our MPL Yarns group for creating washcloths and toiletry kits!
