On
November 1st Donna Burr and Linda Myers hosted their annual Holy
Family Coat Drive at Carroll Catholic School in Lincoln. It was a
day off for the school and the ladies were graciously allowed to set
up their coat event. The coat give away has been held annually for
the past 15 years. They began using the white building that was on
the north side of the CCS parking lot.
When that building was torn down, the event was moved to the Holy
Family Food Pantry building. However, the needs at the pantry have
increased to the point that this year there was not enough space
available at the pantry for the ladies. Therefore, because there was
no school on November 1st at CCS, the women were offered the front
entrance area as for the distribution of coats.

This year, there were more than 150 coats provided to
Logan County citizens. The ladies also had on had socks, hats,
gloves, hoodies, blankets, and fresh produce and other miscellaneous
items.
They shared that this year they were touched and excited to be able
to offer one customer whose furnace had gone out the night before,
coat, blankets and other items to help shield her from the cold in
her home while she awaited her furnace being repaired.
