American State Bank and Trust Company will sponsor its seventh-annual Mitten Tree Project at its six locations through Dec. 15.  The Mitten Tree gives bank customers and the community a chance to donate new hats, gloves, scarves, coats and mittens to children and families in need as a way to brighten their holiday season.
Each American State Bank location will have a tree in the bank lobby that the community can help decorate with clothing items through Dec. 15. Only new items are being sought as well as cash donations.  All gifts will then be taken to the United Way of Central Kansas for distribution prior to Christmas.
For additional information call American State Bank at 620-793-5900.
