Warm coats needed for CHILDREN in need!

Do you have a gently used coat to spare for a child? Can you purchase a coat for a child who is in need?

A need for some of the homeless, needy children who attend a school in the Bound Brook area could use some help. Children are going to school without winter coats and winter clothing to keep warm.

If you would be interested in sharing some gently used or new coats, hats, etc. with this community of children in need, the school nurses would greatly appreciate your support as they are routinely approached to address clothing needs for some children in need.

Beth Knox is leading this outreach and will have a bin placed by the entrance to the church to drop off donations. If you have further questions you can reach out to her at samstudz@optonline.net

List of needs:

Boys: first and second graders need size 4/5, 6/8, 9/10, 10/12, 12/14

Coats, pants, long sleeve shirts, socks, and underwear. Sneakers in sizes 1 through 5 for boys as well.
