#9 Warm Coats for Winter

Unknown-3

Though we are having an unseasonably warm winter, on the day that the family went to the Ardmore Food Pantry, the weather was starting to turn.  There was finally a chill in the air that let you  know it was the Christmas season!  At the pantry, we met an 8 year old boy, his father and his grandmother who were recipients.  The boy had no coat.  I asked him and his grandmother said that he doesn’t have winter coat.  I knew that we were going back to help out at Our Closet, and I had noticed that they had coats, so I took their information and said that I’d try to help them.  The woman at Our Closet said that they don’t normally just give out coats, but since it is starting to get cold and the next pop up wasn’t for a few weeks, she would make an exception.  I picked up 3 coats – for my new friend, and his 2 brothers.  I dropped them off today, to a very thrilled – and now warm – little boy.
