Greenwich's Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery Schoolers Warm Hearts with Winter Coat Drive

From Temple Sholom.

Throughout January, Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery Schoolers learned the importance of community service while collecting new and gently used winter coats for children ages 0-16. The initiative is due to a partnership with Mothers for Others, a group of local mothers who accept donated children’s items and redistribute them to local organizations that identify and assist families in immediate need.

“The Mothers for Others Coat & Clothing Drive at SMNS is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about community service,” explains Nursery School Director, Phyllis Lyons. “When a child learns that another boy or girl may not have a winter coat to keep warm they show such compassion and an urgency to help. Our families get involved and we all join together to make a difference.”

Donated items will be distributed to clients of Family Centers, Inc., Greenwich Social Services, Kids in Crisis and YWCA Domestic Abuse Services.
