We have another organization attending the Market this year that is working towards a fantastic cause!
Coats of Friendship, Inc. will be attending the Market this Saturday the 25th to collect new and gently used coats/warm clothing for those in need over the Thanksgiving weekend. If anyone has any coats/jackets of any size lingering around that they would like to donate to this cause, please bring them along! Coats of Friendship and those they help would greatly appreciate the support!
Coats of Friendship is a Non-Profit aiming to make the world a warmer place through doing things for people in need. This ongoing non-profit is run and staffed by elementary students (and their volunteer parents) who have made it their goal to do what they can to help make York PA a better, warmer place this holiday season.
