 Message From Sherri
| This month, I was especially touched by a blog post from Amrit Williams, a coat donor who spied his donated coat providing warmth to a man in need at a local free breakfast event. The coat's new owner told Amrit that he "will always be grateful for the kindness of those who haven't forgotten that we are all the same." We are thrilled to be able to share stories like Amrit's more widely this year, as we make greater use of our blog, Facebook and Twitter. You can always follow the links in the right hand panel to see photos and updates from our friends.
With heartfelt thanks, Sherri |

BFFs Unite to Help Others!
 Best friends (BFFs) Katelynn and Gina can't let the adults have all the fun. The girls recently decided to hold a coat drive on their own. They also decided to learn how to use Facebook to create an Event! Way to go Katelynn and Gina! It takes only one person to make a difference, but it's loads more fun when a friend does it with you! We want to be friends, too! When you're done, Share Your Success on our website, and then leave us a post on our Facebook page! Until then, have an AWESOME coat drive!
(We currently have almost 75 youth-led coat drives registered, working together to warm their communities... one coat at a time.)
