Our Annual Coats for Kids drive is underway and the CMS Coats for Kids Club needs your help! Please consider donating any gently-used coats for the needy this winter by bringing them to Peabody or Sanborn. We accept any size coat, from infant snowsuits to oversized adult, but please do not donate clothing other than winter coats – no scarves, hats, gloves, mittens or snow pants. The drive lasts until  January 6th, 2017, so if you receive a new coat for the winter consider donating your old coat to Coats for Kids. Thank you very much for your generosity!  This  holiday season as we visit with family and friends,  let’s spread the word that we are collecting coats for those in need.  Your donations are greatly appreciated!
