Lions ask for good used coats, jackets November 28, 2012

One of the many community efforts of the Surface Creek Valley Lions Club is the coats and jackets distribution the club has housed at the Surface Creek Community Food Bank.

With the onset of colder weather, the club is especially in need of donated coats and heavy jackets for free distribution to any area family or individual in need of one.

The club asks that donated items be washed first, but good outerwear in any serviceable condition is appreciated.

"Donors may drop off coats at the Cedaredge Food Bank location, behind town hall on Main Street, Mondays from 9-11, or Thursdays 1-3 p.m., says club member Pat Means.

If these hours are not convenient, please call Means to make other arrangements; at the office 856-5001, or cell 640-6614.

"Thanks for your interest in the Surface Creek Valley Lions Club activities. Right now, we are eager to get word out to the public about the need for warm, clean coats and jackets to be shared with those who could benefit from these donations, available at the food bank on food distribution days," Means said.
