THE COAT NEEDS YOUR COATS
We are entering the most difficult time of year for persons in need of winter warmth. In order to meet the need, the Coat has a critical need for winter coats for all ages and winter boots/shoes. We also need almost all kinds of cold weather clothes, especially for men, and men’s work boots.
If you can help, bring donations to the Coat during its open hours – Monday and Wednesday 1-3. Clothing also can be left in the atrium of St. James.
For St. Mark members, the donations can be left in the narthex.
Please consider keeping the feet of a child or adult warm and dry this winter!
The Coat and the community thank you!
