Coats and Costumes for Kids!

Laura Dizon • October 30, 2015

We have just wrapped up two of our community drives and what a success they were!  First was our 30th annual “Coats for Kids” drive that ran through Oct 9th.  Thanks to your donations, we collected and cleaned nearly 6,000 coats!  That’s 6,000 kids that you helped keep warm this Minnesota winter!  We then conducted our “Costumes for Kids” drive which just finished Oct 23rd.  We had one of our best drives ever as we collected and cleaned almost 800 costumes!  WOW!  Halloween will be a lot more fun for a lot of kids this year!

Our community was so generous with their donations! We were able to help a lot of children in need this year!  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and kindness and for making this years community drives a huge success!
