This would have been the 18th year of the organization collecting, then distributing winter clothes, coats and blankets within our communities.
The committee thanks all who have participated in the event, including individual donors and volunteers, businesses, schools and Chester and Andover churches that helped in collections and the churches that allowed the committee to hold distributions.
This event has been so important and needed within our communities. If anyone wishes to step into the roles to bring it back or has any questions, please contact Carla Rumrill at carlarumrill@gmail.com or Mary Semones at mesemones@msn.com.
