In Community, Editor Choice, Local, News

The annual Salvation Army Coats for Kids is well underway.

It’s the 29th year for Coats for Kids program. Over the years the program has been a great success and it’s hoped it will continue for many more years.

Many children and parents have benefitted from this program and have had a warm winter.
