I'll go over to Suzanne's blog and comment, too. Now is the time to start gearing up for the season's donations. I'm big on helping the animal shelters and the foodbanks.

Thanks for your comments, it is important that the word gets out that kids need these coats.  And, oftentimes, parents and guardians are struggling just to keep them warm and food in their tummies.
