Warm Winter Clothing Required
The recent bitterly cold weather has highlighted the importance of our Coat Drive. Although we say coat drive gently used coats, jackets, sweaters, scarves, gloves, hats, shawls are being accepted. If it can keep someone warm, and you are not using it, please drop it off at Lion Astrid's Office - 1104 Rutland Road.
