Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The 28th annual "Karen Kitzmiller Memorial Winter Coat Drive" is taking place on Saturday, OCTOBER 28 in both Montpelier and Barre! Needed are CLEAN winter coats in all sizes, winter hats, scarves, mittens, sweaters, insulated winter boots, quilts and blankets . . . . all the things that help folks stay warm this coming winter.
If you can sift through your closets and find items that are in good repair and CLEAN, please take them as soon as you can to Community National Bank. Their offices are on State St in Montpelier and on North Main St in Barre. We'll be accepting donations through Friday, October 27.
This wonderful event will help folks in need stay warm this winter and every year we distribute, FOR FREE, over 1,000 winter coats plus many, many other accessories. Especially needed are larger sizes, and little sizes for all ages of growing children. But, really the drive needs ALL sizes!
We do ask that all items donated be CLEAN and in GOOD CONDITION. Every year we get a few donations that go straight to the dumpster because they are torn, stained, or filthy . . . and that is not what this drive is about.
Thank you, sincerely, for your help with this wonderful event. Karen would be proud to know that this drive continues in her name!
