To the editor:
The members of the American Legion Auxiliary, Henry B. Pratt, Jr., Unit No. 15 will be holding their annual Coats for Kids and Families on Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26. The hours of operation will be 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday.
At the present time we are seeking donations of gently used winter clothing. This includes coats, jackets, ski pants, hats, mittens, gloves and boots. In short, we are seeking any items of clothing designed to keep people warm throughout the winter season.
We are making an added request for donations in XL sizes. We receive very few items in XL-5X sizes and always run out of these sizes very quickly.
We have arranged for several ways to donate to this cause. Donation boxes are located at Reno’s Family Restaurant on Sweden Street and at the Caribou Wellness Center on Bennett Drive until Thursday, Oct. 24. We can also be contacted at 227-1636 and 227-1588, or e-mail us at unit15coatgiveaway@mail.com.
Thank you for supporting our neighbors in need.
