SEVENTH ANNUAL WINTER COAT DRIVE

Recently we were contacted by Poll Friedman at the Orchards Children's Services.
This organization takes in children who have been removed from abusive or neglectful homes.
She told us that sometimes the children leave their homes with nothing but the shirt on their backs.
It seemed so unfair that children who have already faced such disappointment
in their young lives, should have to face a cold, harsh winter without even having a warm coat.

We feel compelled to help.
The staff at Tapper's has set an ambitious goad
We're hoping to collect one thousand clean coats by the end of November.
This year we are also asking for new hats and gloves for the children.
Please help us meet our goad
Donate any of these items at Tapper's during October or November and receive

A $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE. *

There is a special need for coats fitting children ages 7 to 10, but any coat will be greatly appreciated
Without the very basics of food clothing and shelter, its hard for those in need
to imagine that the world holds any promise for them.
If we all work together, we can help provide at least one basic...a warm coat this winter.
