TRAM is preparing for our annual Coat Drive and Giveaway Event, and you can help! Most of us have a collection of coats and winter gear, that is going unused due to kids growing out of everything, or changing fashions, etc.
So please consider cleaning out your closets and transporting all that lovely, CLEAN, unused gear to one of our collection boxes. The boxes will be available on September 30th until November 9th. We accept coats, mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, boots and snow pants in all sizes. We also accept new things!
Boxes will be available at Lowry's Books and More, Three Rivers First United Methodist Church, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Trucordia - Preferred Insurance Services, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, as well as a few other locations, yet to be determined.
Our Giveaway Event will be held at Three Rivers First United Methodist Church on November 17th, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. Everything is free! And yummy snacks will be served.
Thanks in advance, to all of you compassionate, wonderful, generous people of Three Rivers!!!
