ROSIE’S PLACE COAT DRIVE If you are cleaning out your closets, or starting to look at your cold weather gear, I can help you find new homes for your “previously owned” cold weather jackets and coats. Rosie’s Place, a homeless shelter and multi-service agency for women in Boston, this year is seeking used coats and jackets for their guests. The jackets and coats should be washed or cleaned. Additionally, if you have men’s jackets , these can also be donated, as some women prefer this style and also,these jackets may be in the larger sizes. Many of the women are larger in size. This will be ongoing, never too late. But guests have already started asking for these items.
I will pick up any items you wish to donate – call Elisabeth Comer at 781-772-2220. You can email her at ewcomer@verizon.net…. or leave them in the church office. Thanks in anticipation and please tell others about this, including your hair stylist, your dental office, doctors’ office, at you favorite store, etc.
