Coat and Winter Clothing Drive!

Calling for all un-used new or gently used coats, sweatshirts, jackets, sweaters, hats, glove, scarfs and other items to keep others warm that might be hiding in your closets! It's time to shake out the dust and donate them to those in need! Infant, Totddler, Child, Teenager and Adult sizes needed!

Sam and I have decided this year we wanted to donate coats and other items to keep others warm to the Burlington Coat Factory Warm Hearts & Warm Coat Drvie! We thought that there are probably other families in our ward that have too many coats and other winter clothing not being used in their closets, or that there might be families that would like to donate new coats to those in need, so we decided to start our own mini coat drive! I know there are a lot of you out there that have items to donate but find it hard to make the time to go and drop them off so we are going to help you out! Sam and I will have boxes in the north and south foyers at church for you to put your donated clothing in this Wednesday night during mutual as well as this Sunday during church. Please bring your coats and other items mentioned above to church this week and put them in the boxes. Sam and I will take care of taking them to Burlington.

If you forget to bring your coats and winter clothing to church or have too many to bring, no problem! Just give me or Sam a call and we will come and pick them up from your house! How neat is that? You don't even have to leave your house and can still help those in need!

We are planning on taking all the items donated to Burlington on the 23rd of December so this is the only week the boxes will be out so don't put this off! Take a few minutes to go through your closets and pull the items you don't use anymore, and donate them to help keep others warm this winter season. We will be willing to pick items up from your house through the 23rd of December as well.

We are so excited to have everyone take part in this great service project with us! Thank you in advance for you donations!
