This year, our annual coat drive for the West Side Urban Ministry will be held as a drive-thru (socialy distanced) parking lot drop-off, in the same way ood has been collected for the Food Saturday drives.
We will be collecting all sorts of winter outer wear (coats, jackets, hats, mittens, etc.) for children on the west side of Columbus. Bags of warm outer wear are distributed to guidance counselors and school nurses so that when a child comes to school without appropriate winter gear, they are immediately provided with something warm to wear.
All of you that have given previously have made a real difference in the life of a child. We hope we can continue to help all these children through the pandemic.
