State Rep. Snyder launches coat drive
State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Jefferson, is launching a winter coat drive to benefit needy families in the area.
“I urge residents to donate new and gently used winter coats of all sizes so they can be made available to less fortunate neighbors,” Snyder said. “My district offices are collecting clean coats through Dec. 6 for distribution locally.”
Snyder said coats may be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the three district offices:
• 104 S. Market St., Suite 101 in Carmichaels
• 33 Market St., Suite 1 in Brownsville
• 93 E. High St., Room 215 in Waynesburg.
Snyder said she is partnering with the Waynesburg Salvation Army, the Masontown Helping Hands Ministry and Crosskeys Human Services of Brownsville to distribute the coats locally.
“The need for warm coats exists locally, and donating an extra or unused coat is a great way to get into the holiday spirit,” Snyder said.
Anyone with questions about the coat donations may call the Carmichaels office at 724-966-8953.
