Coat Drive held on November 19, 2008

HOME: GRACE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST (UCC) WEB SITE

A coat distribution was held this past Wednesday evening at Grace UCC.  Organized by one of our members, Kelly Ospina, and in conjunction with the Hunterdon Hispanos organization, more than 100 people came to obtain winter clothing for themselves and their families.  The doors opened before 7 p.m. and by 8:00 p.m. hundreds of donated winter clothing items were gone…it was a cold evening and some families came to the coat drive on their bicycles…thank you for giving needed clothing so others can stay warm.

  1. Dear Kelly,

    Thank you for your leadership in the clothing drive. It was gratifying to see so many people benefit from such a simple gift. It was truly a lesson in community spirit and giving. What a nice segue into the season of Thanksgiving.
