2. is Holding a Coat Drive
As you clean out your closets looking for winter gear, please consider donating your gently-used jackets, coats, hats and gloves to our collection box in the Wilson Middle School lobby from now until December 22. We are looking for items for toddlers, young children, teens and adults. They will be given to for cleaning, and then they will be distributed to families who need them for the cold weather.
