Following last week\u2019s extreme weather, the Plano nonprofit faces an \u201curgent need\u201d to restock winter coats for men, women, and kids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Storehouse Community Center<\/a> in Plano is a nonprofit which serves neighbors through food, clothing, education, and employment support. In addition, the organization\u2019s Joseph\u2019s Coat program distributes winter coats to men, women, and children across Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties. Last year alone, The Storehouse Community Center served 166,124 individuals and distributed over 2,000 coats.<\/p>\n Today, Joseph\u2019s Coat announces a community-wide call for donations of new and gently used winter coats and jackets for children, teens, and adults. The organization reports that last week\u2019s extreme winter weather depleted its supplies, creating an \u201curgent need\u201d to restock.<\/p>\n \u201cFor many families, rent, utilities, and groceries must come first, leaving little room to purchase seasonal items like winter coats,\u201d says Susan Gradick, director of Joseph\u2019s Coat. \u201cWith more cold weather still ahead, we hope the community will check their closets or consider hosting a coat drive.\u201d<\/p>\n Donations may be dropped off at the Joseph\u2019s Coat shed in the north parking lot at The Storehouse Community Center (1401 Mira Vista Boulevard, Plano). Neighbors in need of clothing are invited to visit Joseph\u2019s Coat by appointment<\/a>.
