GREENE—As winter approaches and temperatures drop, organizers at Berean Bible Church in Greene are asking the community to give the gift of warmth by donating to a great cause.

Winter coats and jackets of all sizes from infant through adults are needed for those in our community who cannot afford to purchase.

According to organizers, the absence of local thrift-stores or second-hand clothing retailers coupled with the high cost of new winter parkas and jackets has forced many families and elderly to face making that hard decision of being warm though the winter or paying bill.

This season, a special call out for children’s and larger adult sized coats has been place.

If you go through your closets or storage, you may find that you have coats that are too big, too small or just outgrown.
