We are joining other churches and businesses across North Fulton to provide “Coatsgiving” to ease the financial burden of the holiday season for local families in need. Families are provided with all the essentials to prepare a Thanksgiving meal at home. Additionally, each family receives coats and winter accessories to stay warm during the winter months.
Together, we can fill the plates and warm the hearts of over 500 families this season.
HOW TO HELP

Donate Thanksgiving items such as canned fruits and veggies, soups, boxed dessert mixes, whole turkeys or chickens, holiday hams, or family-size frozen lasagnas. Items can be stored at the church. (Some pantry staples are also available on the Amazon list.)
