Red Hook Rotary Coat Drive an Outstanding Success!
We collected 120 gently used coats!! We gave away half of the coats today at the United Methodist Church Food Pantry. We then proceeded to roughly divide the remainder in three groups: warm/wool jackets to Cara Mia/Hope on a Mission and the homeless in Poughkeepsie; Community Action in Red Hook which distributes throughout Dutchess County to those in need; and the remaining coats/hangers to the Red Hook Community Center which has a free closet for those in need.
Another example of how our members exemplify “Service Above Self!”
