With the mornings getting chilly, the request for children’s coats has increased at Friends of the Poor/Catherine McCauley Center.
Assisted by fellow UNICAN, Barbara Giordano, we purchased and delivered 23 new coats to Dana Wilson, distribution manager.
These coats were purchased thru the monetary donations we received.
We won’t stop until our commitment is complete for these children.
Thank you to all you donated!
