The American Lutheran Church is partnering with the pantry for a "Warm Winter Project". We did a warm clothing drive, including winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, boots, socks, sweaters, etc. We were collecting new, clean, and very ently used (socks had to be new).
Many of these items are still at the Lutheran Church. If you or someone you know needs warm clothes, please go to the Lutheran Church and get what you need. We helped many families but can help many more.
This will be the last notice about these clothing items till the weather turns cold again but if you have any questions please call the Lutheran Church to see how you may help.. donate or help find people who need these items.
For the time being they will be kept in storage but available to all who need warm clothes.
Thank You, Robyn Flickinger
