Longview Community Ministries will host their Coats for Kids Campaign this Saturday, November 9th, at the Broughton Recreation Center on MLK Boulevard in Longview from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This annual event provides warm coats for school age children. Participating cleaners are currently in the process of collecting coats, hats, gloves, and jeans from the public and unclaimed coats at schools. Anyone can come to claim a coat, but the child must be present to receive a coat. Last year this ministry gave out 943 coats to 339 families. School Counselors are invited to come by Broughton Center around 1:30 to procure some coats to keep on their campus for those students who may need a coat once the cold weather arrives. Please make plans to donate now.

You may donate your coats at the following participating cleaners:

• Longview Area: Alpine Cleaners, Dry Clean Super Center, McLendon Cleaners, Service Cleaners, Sno-White Laundry, and Village Cleaners

• Kilgore Area: McLendon Cleaners

• Gladewater Area: Family Cleaners

• White Oak Area: McLendon Cleaners

• Hallsville Area: McLendon Cleaners
