We are
collecting clean, reusable, gently worn or new coats in child and adult sizes on behalf of “One
Warm Coat” (www.onewarmcoat.org) and
“Operation Sleigh Bells” (their mission statement and a link to
their website are below). The collection box for our annual coat drive
will be in our front vestibule. Thank you in advance for your support and
generosity!
“Operation
Sleigh Bells/Holiday Giving is Family & Children’s Service’s historic
annual holiday gift-giving program. Started in 1909 as a way to give area
children a brighter holiday season, the project has grown to provide more than
2,500 children with the gifts of warm clothing, toys and books each year.
Families from communities throughout Monmouth County register with Family &
Children’s Service to receive the much-needed items.”
