The drop off box will be at the Chamber until December 11th. \nOur service project on on Thursday Dec 19th will be to sort and distribute coats we and others have donated within the community! \nVolunteers arrive at 1:30\, we’ll have everyone help us set up the coats in the cafeteria.  Then we’ll allow clients to “shop” for coats from 2 – 3pm.  After everyone is done shopping\, we’ll gather the coats and take whatever is left to Mission Arlington.
