Winter Warm-up, We Thank All Who Assisted In This Program

Thanks to the community for the donations of coats and other warm clothing items for our Winter Warm Up event held at The Salvation Army on October 31.  There were 125 households attending the event with over 1800 warm items taken.  There were many handmade hats and scarves, and we thank those individuals who shared their talents.  We couldn’t have an event like this without the many volunteers who sorted the clothes, set up for the event and assisted families on the day of the event.  Volunteers from Kohl’s Department store A-team helped us set up for the event. The volunteer groups helping us on Saturday included individuals from the Management Volunteer Program at Krannert, Ivy Tech, Abundant Love Church, and Just Faith from St. Thomas. 

 

A special thank you to Drake and Teresa Hoover who provided shoes from the Shoes for the Needy program.  We also appreciated the shopping bags donated by Target. 

 

On behalf of all the individuals who will have a warmer winter, we say thank you.
