A successful first day at the YWCA St. Thomas Elgin’s Winter Coat and Accessories Giveaway- so much so they are calling on the community for help!
Over 170 guests have come through, and over 630 items have been given away thanks to the partnership Goodwill Industries and ClothingWorks.
Carol-Ann McIntyre, Program Coordinator at ClothingWorks says they will be accepting last minute coat donations today and tomorrow as a result.
Donations will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. today and again Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
McIntyre explains if anyone misses out on getting a coat locally and can find their way to London, another event is being held by ClothingWorks next week.
Holly Blair, Housing Stability Coordinator with the YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin took the time to thank everyone for the support on the Winter Coat and Accessories Giveaway.
