Coats For Kids


There were dozens of people standing in line at the Community and Family Resource Center in Lafayette Saturday as distribution day of Coats for Kids began. It was overwhelming, yet sad, to see the line wrap around the building.
Volunteers from our station and Hudlow's Cleaners helped families find the right size of coats, shoes, gloves and other items that were donated for the event. Santa was there to talk to the youngsters.
There are two more distribution days for anyone still in need of a coat. They will be given out December 4th and 6th from noon until 7:00p.m. at CFRC at 4th and Fountain Streets.
If you have a coat that your little one has outgrown drop it off at any one of these locations:
All Hudlow's Dry Cleaning locations; WLFI-TV 18, West Lafayette; Arnett Health Plans, 415 N26th Street, Lafayette; Chick-Fil-A, State Road 26 East; AAMCO Transmissions, State Road 26 East; Twin City Dodge-Chrysler, Sagamore Parkway, South; St. Elizabeth Medical Center; Home Hospital; and Wild About Horses Equestrian Center, West Point.
