On Saturday December 3rd Black River Good Neighbor Services was able to provide, free of charge, a winter coat to anyone in need. This was made possible through the efforts of Vermont Properties, their clients and friends.
Suzanne Garvey said “Vermont Properties appreciates the support of clients and friends to make this year’s Coat Drive a success. The number of coats collected was 200+. It was inspiring to see our second homeowners drive up to our office with their bags of donations and some even gathered coats from their neighbors at home to send to us here in our corner of VT! Local support was stronger than ever as well. Neighbor helping neighbor and everyone pitching in. We know that BRGNS will make sure the coats get where there is need and we know that that any sales of coats will greatly help the BRGNS food shelf.”
Pictured above are Suzanne Garvey and Kathy Burns of Vermont Properties as they stand in front of some of the coats collected.
Audrey Bridge, Executive Director of BRGNS Thrift Store and Food Shelf said “anyone who missed the give-away day and who may still be in need of a coat should come to the store at 37B Main Street in Ludlow, we are eager to help. No one in our community needs to be without the proper clothes to survive winter”.
Store hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information please call 802-228-3663.
