🧥 5. Annual Coat Drive
The weather is dropping, and we want to make sure everyone in our community stays warm this winter. We are officially collecting brand-new coats of all ages and sizes (from toddlers to adults). Next time you are out shopping, please consider picking up an extra coat to drop off!

Nobody should go without a special meal during the holidays. We are gathering non-perishable food items that can be used to build holiday dinner baskets for local families. Think stuffing mix, canned yams, cranberry sauce, instant mashed potatoes, canned veggies, and gravies. Let's fill the pantry!
