With winter clearly upon us, I remembered this plea from local mom Audrey Crane on behalf of the Family Center:

They actually have a waiting list of children who need winter coats and boots. I brought smaller items, since my kids are small and so what they outgrow is even smaller, but they also need stuff for older kids. In particular there are 3 teenaged boys on the waiting list, who could even take a smaller men’s coat. So if your husband is a smaller man and has something he doesn’t wear, they may be able to put it to use.

 So if you’re cleaning out your kids’ closet, this organization would be a very worthy recipient. The center can be reached by calling 385-4747.
