Open Door Coat Rack

There were sixteen area churches gathering coats during October for the Open Door Coat Rack--and Grace Bible Chapel was one of them. The distribution of the coats happened the last week in October.

The chairman of the project this year reported that more than 1,500 coats, jackets and snow pants were collected. Nine hundred and sixty-nine people were served in the three days of distribution. Both children and adults received jackets and/or snow pants. Sixty-two came just for hats and mittens.

The remaining coats went to the Zion Lutheran Clothes Closet, so they are still available to serve people in the community. The remaining coats were transported to the Eveleth United Methodist Church for a coat distribution in mid-November. There were a very few hats and mittens left, but they went to the Ball Club community for distribution at Christmas.

Thank you to all who helped!
