Monroe Family Connection Coat Drive
| |
As we approach the holiday season, Monroe Family Connection needs your help. Family Connection is having a coat drive for the Union Hill Community. Please check your closets and see if you have any lightly used coats that you might donate to this initiative. Check with your family and neighbors, too. We need coats for men, women, and children. With cold weather now upon us, I know that we can all appreciate the importance of a warm coat. We will be collecting the coats at the Family Connection Office, located in the County Extension Office Building (next to the hospital) until December 5th. We would truly appreciate your support.
