An effort to collect new, or ‘gently’ used, winter coats, snow pants, hats, gloves, mittens and boots will be held at Murphy Elementary School, 1100 Pratt Road and at Rolland-Warner Middle School, 333 DeMille Boulevard, where fifth and sixth grade Murphy students are attending this year.
The collection, part of the “Coats for Kids” program will begin on Monday, November 9th and end Friday, November 13th. All sizes of clothing are needed.
A collection box will be located near the offices at Murphy Elementary School or Rolland-Warner Middle School.
The winter clothing will be redistributed through the Coat-Give-A-Way program at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 90 Millville Road in Lapeer. Clothing will be given out on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon, now through December 19th, except for Saturday, November 28th. Appointments to receive clothing are also available by calling the church at (810) 664-6653.
Anyone with questions about the program can contact Lisa Schultz at (810) 797-5537.
