Coat Distribution
Join us for our third annual coat distribution. We believe in having a winter coat should not be a privilege, but a basic necessity that everyone should have access to as coats can be expensive, and not everyone can afford to purchase a new coat every year. We want to help families stay warm this winter!
Date: Saturday, November 11th, 2023
Time: 11am-3pm
This event is FREE!
