HPCA Martin Luther King Day of Service Coat Collection Event
January 15 at North Wilmington Branch Library, 34th & Market Sts
As a part of its annual winter coat collection drive, the HPCA is sponsoring a COAT COLLECTION EVENT on Monday, Jan. 15--the observance of the MLK Day of Service. Coats will be collected at the North Wilmington Branch Library at 34th & Market Sts from 11am-7pm.
Clean, Good Condition Coats Will be Collected Thru Winter Months
The HPCA announced the start of its second annual Winter Coat Drive at its December meeting and will collect coats through the end of March. The hope is that the coat drive will promote a spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. The HPCA will link with charitable agency for the distribution of donated coats, but the needs of neighbors in our community will be given priority.
Coats of all sizes are needed: adult men's and women's coats, boys' and girls' coats and infant snowsuits. All donated coats should be clean and in good condition. To donate a coat, please call (302) 762-7453 or contact by email at hinson310@aol.com.
