Coats-big coats, little coats, all sizes of coats-are needed, but especially needed are youth sizes 10-12 and 14-16.
Boxes have been placed at Bill's Market, the Dollar General Store and City Hall in order to collect coats and hoodies that can be given to anyone in need. The Members of the Puhicah Club who has organized this coat drive will be distributing all coats collected to either the Puxico Schools or the Puxico United Methodist Clothes Closet who will then give the coats and hoodies to those in need.
The Clothes Closet serves people of all ages from babies to senior citizens so they will be able to give away all sizes. Coats that fit school children can be given to the Puxico Schools counselors when a need arises.
For anyone in need of a coat, the Clothes Closet is open the first and thirrd Wednesday of each month from 1- 3 p.m. You may also contact Alice Patrick at 222-3162 or 222-3263 if you need a coat or wish to donate coats.
