(WCRM) will host their annual Coats for the Cold coat giveaway event. The event takes place at WCRM,
which is located at 225 Patton Avenue.
Coats for the Cold will help benefit those in our area who are in need of winter gear such as coats, hats,
gloves, scarves, and socks. Individuals in need of these items are encouraged to come “shop”, items will
be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis. All items are free. This event will be hosted outdoors in
the driveway next to the building.

We would like to thank Swannanoa Cleaners, Home2Suites (Airport Rd.) and McGill Associates for their
partnership of this event.
Donations of gently used/new coats, hats, gloves and scarves are needed throughout the winter and can
be dropped off at WCRM during donation drop off hours. Please contact Amanda Putnam, our Chief
Development Officer to get more information or become involved.
