Share the Warmth and Donate Coats!

Our 2012 Warm Coat Day took place on October 27th.  

Just in time for the cold nights and windy days of Fall, our Warm Coat Day distribution took place on October 27th. We distributed over 1,200 coats and jackets to 274 families.  Chic-fil-a provided lunch and over 300 volunteers helped to sort, hang, fold, and act as personal shoppers to ensure the event was a success.  Many thanks to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported this heart warming event.  A special thank you to the women of Nimble Fingers and Hooks and Sticks who knitted over 2,000 caps, scarves and mittens.  Watching the families try to find the perfect match for a coat or jacket was a special moment.  The items were beautiful.
