Donations to Graceland Center during the annual coat drive!
This year, Graceland Center was a site for the Neighborhood House Annual Coat Drive.
We received this note from the Neighborhood House Outreach and Development Assistant:
"Thank you for volunteering at Neighborhood Houses’ Annual Coat Giveaway!
You donated your time, sorted and distributed coats, welcomed community members, and helped make the annual coat giveaway possible. Your compassion, generosity, and steady effort turned a community need into shared action. We are grateful for the care you brought to each person and the to the work.
Together, we collected 1,032 coats, and 683 coats have already been distributed—up from 437 last year. That means that more than 240 additional people will be warmer this winter and represents a 56% increase in coats placed directly into the community’s hands. These results speak for themselves, but they also speak to you: your effort made this growth possible."
Thank you to everyone who made hats and scarves and brought in coats and winter wear to contribute to the Neighborhood House Coat Drive. We are grateful to be part of a community that loves to give back!
