One of the guilds with the Gibson Gallery has done its part again this year helping out the annual Coats for Kids campaign.
The Wednesday Gibson Gallery Guild donated about 50 hand knitted hats, mittens, scarves and other winter items last week. The presentation was made to Amherstburg Community Services (ACS) executive director Kathy DiBartolomeo.
ACS presents Coats for Kids with the assistance of Cintas, Team Brad Bondy and the Unemployed Help Centre.
They have been meeting every Wednesday at the Gibson Gallery from 1-3 p.m. and the guild has existed in various forms for the last 52 years.
The Wednesday Gibson Gallery Guild also donates to Street Help, St. Vincent de Paul, the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission, Hiatus House and three area schools.
The annual Coats for Kids campaign also got help from Team Brad Bondy last Saturday when they had their trailer in the parking lot at Rob & Tina’s No Frills in Amherstburg trying to fill their trailer with new and gently used coats.
Distribution will take place at Encounter Church, located at 125 Alma St. Dates for distribution are Nov. 10 from 12:30-2 p.m., Nov. 11 from 6-8 p.m., Nov. 12-13 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Nov. 14 from 4-6 p.m. and Nov. 15 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
