The Annual Louisburg Ministerial Alliance Coats for Folks Drive, has begun and is accepting donations of new or gently used coats, hats, scarves, gloves and blankets. Donations are being accepted through November 13th at the Louisburg United Methodist Church at 249 N. Broadway in Louisburg. The church is the only collection point this year for the winter apparel donations. Bins are available outside the church for donations. All the items donated will be distributed from 3:00 to 7:00 on Monday and Tuesday, November 15th and 16th, at the church.
Organizers say they have moved up the start date and distribution date of the event in hopes of getting coats and cold weather apparel in peoples’ hands before the really cold weather sets in. According to the Miami County Republic, you can make an anonymous request for coats by texting the Coats for Folks text line at 913-372-3001, or email “[email protected]”
