The response to our 'Winter Wear' drive has been terrific. To date we have in excess of 250 winter coats, many of them brand new!! We are heading to five schools tomorrow...Fuller Elementary, Haley Elementary Songhai Elementary, Curtis Elementary, and West Pullman Elementary.
Plenty of people have stepped to the fore to aid our clothing drive either with cash funds or donated coats, gloves, scarves and/or hats. Plenty of students and families will be happy to receive the warm clothing.
Aside from the coats, I had one contributor who bought fifty, yes fifty, brand new backpacks for a couple of these schools. To say the least, this is truly an amazing donation.
The outpouring of support has simply been; well, fairly overwhelming. We still have coats coming in, so many so that I will be able to deliver coats to King Elementary and Pickard Elementary on Thursday.
I'll be sure to post some photos of our trip to the city in the next couple of days.
Thanks for your support,
Dick
