We ran our annual Coats for Kids drive in November and would like to share the results of your amazing generosity. For those unfamiliar with this program, we solicit cash donations to purchase warm winter coats for kids, at a discount, in our community that are in need. We also solicit gently worn coats as well.
Your unceasing generosity brought us nearly $5k and 7 boxes of donated coats! THANK YOU!!!
What does that all mean for the kids?
We were able to purchase 432 new winter coats to keep the kiddos nice and warm this year. They were distributed to kids in our parish family, East Penn School District, Salisbury School District and St. Matthews Clothing Closet in Emmaus. The used coats were laundered and sent to Catholic Services.
We were also able to purchase hats, gloves and scarves from our own reserves to provide additional warmth to the kids.
Your charity is a blessing to us and to those that we seek to help. God bless all that helped us this year.
