Please consider helping Franciscan Charities/St. Anne’s Soup Kitchen provide warm winter wear for their clients in Newark. We are collecting clean, gently used, and new coats along with hats, gloves, scarves and blankets — for all ages. They have a particular need for children’s coats (all sizes), adult coats in size XL, and blankets. Bins for your donations will be in the Narthex of the church from October 29th through November 13th. If you prefer to make a cash donation toward the coat drive, you may donate via their website at www.franciscancharitiesinc.org and select the donate tab, or send a check to: Franciscan Charities Inc., 55 Union Place, Suite 217, Summit, NJ 07901 (please state coat drive in the memo line of your check). Thank you!
