The

gift of

 one coat…

Is also a gift of hope.

Is a way to show you care.

Can make a lifelong impact.

Is like a hug, except it lasts longer.

Can put a smile on a tiny face.

May help someone ‘pay it forward.’

Gives gratitude an opportunity to shine.

Could be the best coat someone ever had.

Warms someone’s heart and soul.

Tells someone that they matter.

Warms the receiver’s body and the giver’s heart.

Could be a moment that someone never forgets.

Reminds us all that giving and receiving are both blessed.

Lets someone know that he or she has not been forgotten.

Can be a word of encouragement for someone who is struggling.

Can enable a family to spend more money on food or other essentials.

Connects us to each other.  – By Lee Wilkins

 

As you know, many people in the Lee County area are struggling through tough economic times.  The One Coat Campaign exists to help families who do not have adequate clothing for the winter months.  Our goal is that every person will stay warm this winter in Lee County.  This year, the focus of the campaign is to provide coats, jeans, socks, shoes and blankets for those in need in our community and surrounding communities.    

 Winston S. Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”  Are you willing to give?

 We will be accepting coats (new & gently used), jeans (new & gently used), socks (new), shoes (new & gently used), and blankets (new) for adults and children. We ask that all items donated be clean, free from stains and damage.  During times of need, we are to put our best foot forward. 

                     Items can be put in the box located in each pod.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Shelia Daniel at 887-4953.
