Supporting Coat Boston & Holiday Shop this Advent
Last year the Coat and Holiday Shop received requests for over 4,000 coats but was only able to provide 750 coats. This year, the Coat and Holiday Shop has developed some innovative ways for us to support this need, and so we are thinking innovatively as well.
You can find the detailed information on the requests of the Coat Boston and The Holiday Shop at, www.coatboston.org. We at FCCR are focusing on collecting new coats and winter accessories for children of all ages and sizes.
- You may purchase and donate a new coat, from infants through high school.
- You may contribute cash or Kohls cash or gift certificates or any other tender, and we will purchase the coat with the accumulated funds. The Mission Ministry is donating benevolence funds to this as well, so we will shop smartly and wisely to best contribute to the drive. We would like these types of donations before Thanksgiving so we can deliver on time.
- The Coat shop has created an Amazon Wish List with suggested coats and sizes. The prices range from $19.99 to $59.99. These will be delivered directly to the Coat and Holiday shop.
The Coat and Holiday shop is also requesting new games, books, or sports equipment. We are collecting through December 8.
Please contact the church office at office@churchofreading.org. or 781-944-0205 with any additional ideas or contributions about this important community support.
