What a freezing cold AWESOME day! We worked on a coat & blanket drive all week & put it together for Saturday, January 9th. What an amazing outpouring from the community! We had people from all over our city bringing coats, blankets, sweaters, mittens & more.

There were people who saw our sign as they were driving by, made U-turns, went to the closest stores & brought back NEW coats, NEW blankets, NEW sweaters. We couldn't have asked for better results. Pastor Joe, whose supplies had dwindled to next to nothing with this frigid weather was truly amazed & said the donations were a blessing.

Local media caught on, aired the announcement early Saturday morning & gave us some wonderful coverage Saturday evening.

Cool and great work. We take for granted little things like a warm coat and home. We all need to look outside.

It feels wonderful to lend a helping hand to others. I know your pastor said the donations were a blessing, so were the volunteers who helped bring the blessing to him. Good Job.

Lynn,

This year my daughters girl scout troupe just did that for the first time. I think it is a great idea, and teaches them a good value.

Agents,

Thank you for all your kind comments. This was a lot of work, but everybody kicked in & worked their rears off to get it put together on such short notice. We had fun doing it and, yes, it does feel so good to give back!
