Pictured above are bags and a box full of kid size coats to be given to area kids by the Silver City PD annual "Coats For Kids" program. In the years I've covered this event this is the first time to my knowledge that residents have spontaneously donated money for the purchase of coats. Chief Reynolds plans to use the money to purchase coats in sizes lacking in the donated coats. This year distribution, through the schools, will begin November 15 just before Thanksgiving break.
This is a good start, lets see what we can do to help the kids in need of a warm coat.
Checks or cash (and coats) can be dropped of at the Silver City PD on Hudson St next to the Fire Department. Checks should be made out to "Town of Silver City" with a notation "For Coats For Kids".
