The Lincoln County Coalition recently held a coat exchange that allowed people to come and pick up winter items for free.
With coats coming and going so much, it is somewhat of a challenge to keep count, but we know that at least 100 coats, over 50 children’s mittens and 40 beanies were picked up from the coat exchange. It was a pleasure to be a part of.
At least 100 coats, over 50 mittens and 40 beanies were picked up at the recently concluded coat exchange.
While setting up the exchange, organizer Amber Pike was approached by community members dropping off multiple coats.
“Even on the very last day I came to take the coat exchange down in Caliente, there was a woman looking for items she could use,” Pike said.
The mittens and beanies were donated by community members in Pahrump. A small candy cane was attached to each pair of children’s mittens.
