WINTER OUTER WEAR DRIVE

AT ELM PARK, SCRANTON

   Once again Elm Park Church in Scranton is actively seeking gently used winter outer wear: coats, hats, gloves, scarves, mittens and boots to be distributed November 12^th, 14^th and 15^th. Last year we gave out 421 winter coats, hundreds of hats, scarves, gloves and mittens in just three days. Remaining items were given to other non-profit agencies including Safety Net and the Scranton Rescue Mission, for distribution. 

Many of your congregations have generously helped us with this mission project in the past. Thank you for all you do to help others. Our address is: Elm Park Church, 712 Linden St, Scranton, PA 18510-2479 Phone number is 570-342-8263
