| One Warm Coat |
|
Winter is approaching and no one should have to go without such a basic
necessity as a coat. Junior Girl Scout troop #364, as well as, other troops from
Girl Scouts of Santiam Council are collecting clean reusable coats, jackets,
hats, gloves and boots for all ages. Infants, children, teen, men and women’s
coats will be distributed to Salem Interfaith Hospitality Network, St. Brigid
Home, St. Monica Home, St. Teresa Home, Women’s Crisis Center, Salem Outreach
Shelter and Simonka House as part of Make a Difference Day and the One Warm Coat
Campaign.
One Warm Coat is a wonderful way for you and your family to pass along
outgrown or unneeded winter wear to those in need. Children sizes are most
needed but all sizes will be gladly accepted. Please bring your items Saturday,
October 25th from 2:00-5:00 p.m. to any of the following drop off
locations:
- The Salem Main Public Library, Anderson Room (585 Liberty St.)
- Boys and Girls Club of Salem (1395 Summer St. NE Salem)
- Scott Cycling and Fitness (147 Commercial St. SE. Salem)
One Warm Coat has provided over 75,000 coats to those in need since its
inception in 1992. Begun in San Francisco Bay area by Lois Pavlov, One Warm Coat
has expanded to eight states with the support of Girl Scouts since 2000.
Girl Scouts of Santiam Council serves 4,250 members in Benton, Lincoln, Linn,
Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s
leading organization dedicated solely to girls – all girls – where, in an
accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skill for success
in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, Girl Scouts
cultivate their full individual potential. The qualities they develop in Girl
Scouting – leadership, values, social conscience, and conviction about their own
self-worth – serve them all their lives.
