S.W.I.M. - Coat Collection for Jay's Closet
Salem Women in Mission is asking for help from our church family.
Our group has been asked, by Jay's Clothing Closet at The Journey Church, to collect new or gently used coats and jackets for men, women and children of all ages and sizes.
We have decided to take on this request and are seeking help from everyone to make this a success, not only for us but for the many people who will receive the coats and jackets.
If you are able to help us, we will have a box in the mission area of the coat room with a sign [Coats & Jackets 4 Jay's Clothing Closet]. This mission was formed by Deb McKiernan and is named after her late husband Jay. Both Jay and Deb were Salem Church members. S.W.I.M. Would like to show Deb that we support her and her mission.
Would you be willing to donate a coat or jacket for someone who does not have one? We will be collecting from now until 11/10.
Thank you for supporting such a worthy mission!
