There were many smiling faces who came to Ackerman Park on Saturday, October 5th, to purchase their pumpkins. Coffee, cider, donuts and cupcakes were enjoyed by all. Happy kids loved having their faces painted and enjoyed the craft table with its coloring books, stickers, crayons and markers. ESCCA would like to extend its heartfelt thank you to all the extremely generous patrons this year. We are so thankful to you and your generosity this year!
For those who don't know about ESCCA, it has been around since the Great Depression and provides needy District 65 K-8 children with complete wardrobes, including coats, jeans, shoes, boots and underwear. Over 300 children are clothed every year.
This fantastic event started 33 years ago by Coldwell Banker Realty, which has generously donated the pumpkins throughout the years. 100% of the pumpkin sales go directly to the purchase of clothing for the students. ESCCA is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. Donations of any type, clothing or monetary are always welcome and appreciated. You can donate at ESCCA at escca.org. or at the front desk of the Coldwell Banker office at 1710 Central Street, anytime between now and the end of November. We send you heartfelt thanks and are very grateful!
