Coats for Kids/Truck Full of Love Coat Drive Update



I just wanted you all to know the outcome of the coat drive that we held at the Scottsbluff Winter Farmers Market on December 4th.

First and foremost, THANK YOU to all of you who generously gave donations! I am so excited to see such generosity being shared this Christmas season.

We collected a total of 114 coats!! We had a total of 78 adult coats, 26 children coats and 10 BRAND NEW coats.

We also raised a total of $76.30.

And the winner of the gift basket compiled of various goodies from participating vendors was Sam Castillo of Mitchell! Congratulations Sam, and thank you so much for your donation.

Here is a picture of all the coats that were collected.


If you missed out on the coat drive that we had at the Scottsbluff Winter Farmers Market on December 4th, don't fret...

You can still take your donations to First State Bank on December 11th. They are accepting NEW or Gently Used coats. If you are donating a NEW coat, you can take them in anytime this week, but if you are donating gently used coats, please take them to the bank on December 11th. Also if you are donating a gently used coat, please make sure they are clean, all the zippers work and don't forget to clean out the pockets! No one wants your old Kleenex! ;)

Thanks again!!
