Western Colorado Comes Together To Insure Everyone Stays Warm This Winter

Western Colorado residents have come out in force to provide coats for those who are going without this coming Winter. Donations are rolling in, and the Annual Salvation Army Coat Drive will continue through the end of the November.

Many residents of Western Colorado, some of them children, lack the basic necessities of warm clothing for the coming Winter. Could you imagine walking to school this Winter without a decent coat?

Please take a look around the house, and see if you have any coats you've either outgrown or don't plan to wear again. In my case, I found two jackets in my hall closet I don't plan to ever wear. As a matter of fact, I'm not entirely sure where the one jacket came from. I think it's mine.

While many people have donated, there still remains more need than inventory. The coat drive will continue through the end of the month with hopes of receiving enough coats to warm everybody who needs one.

There are several donation barrels located all over the Grand Valley.
