FARMINGTON — Coat & Cupboard plans to host two open house events this fall, offering free coats, boots and other warm clothing to the community at Old South First Congregational Church, UCC, 235 Main St.
A project for the youth group, the open house events will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, and from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2, Chester Greenwood Day.
“We invite folks to stop by and ‘shop’ for a gently used coat or pair of boots,” said Jodie Gunther, director of the youth program at Old South church in Farmington, in a news release from the church. “We have many styles to choose from, in sizes from infants to adult sizes XXXL.”
Coat & Cupboard moved last year to its present location in the lower level of the church building.
“Our youth group students worked hard to create a bright, clean and comfortable space,” Gunther said, noting that, “unfortunately, the space is not wheelchair accessible at this time.”
“We also accept clean outerwear items in good condition,” she added. “We have a convenient outdoor dropbox by the church’s rear door. We appreciate gently used coats, boots, and snowpants, and blankets, too.”
