Daisy Troop 42948 in conjunction with all Machias Elementary Girl Scout Troops, is sponsoring a Coat Drive now through November 7, 2008. Please go to www.onewarmcoat.org for more information on how you can help. All coats, jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, hats and mittens are welcome.
Our local collection center is Clothes for Kids in Lynnwood. Clothes for Kids serves all underprivileged families in Snohomish County. From August 2008 through October 15, 2008, Clothes for Kids has already served 1300 families.
Nancy Laird-Burris, manager of Clothes for Kids says her facility cannot keep up with the demand. The shelves are empty and any and all clothes are welcome at this time. A public appeal just went out today and will be featured in The Herald within the coming days.
Nancy can be reached directly at 425-741-6500 or at nlaird@clothesforkids.org.
Let's see if we can really "warm up" their shelves and do a good turn this month by helping out our local community. Thank youJ
For help with local collection or drop-off locations, please contact Krista Murphy at 425-397-7675 or at kristamurphy@verizon.net.

We are so excited to work with Clothes for Kids and One Warm Coat. Those pictures really tell the story. We will do all we can to help replenish those shelves.
We have spread the word to our entire Girl Scout Service Unit and will have some additional drop sites in the Everett area as well.
We'll give it our all!
Krista Murphy, Daisy Girl Scout Troop 42948, Machias Elementary, Snohomish, WA.
