What can you do to help your downtrodden neighbors in need this winter?

At Mars Hill’s Downtown Campus we’re looking for lots of heavy winter coats* to
give away at our annual Christmas Coat Lunch. We’re also collecting
gloves and hats for distribution. Do you have a winter coat that you
can donate? How about setting up a box in your condo or at your workplace
and collecting any winter coats, hats, and gloves that people would like
to donate, or ask your friends and family if they have one lying around unused.

You can drop off your donations at the Mars Hill Downtown Campus at 2333 Western Ave, all day on Sunday, or from 10-5 Monday through Thursday. We need more than 400 coats, hats and gloves. Last year we ran out of coats-especially men’s coats-and this year we want plenty to go around!

The Christmas Coat Lunch is a display of compassion toward our neighbors in downtown Seattle who may want a lunch, some fellowship, and a coat in the midst of winter. We will open our doors and arms to demonstrate the love of Christ by sharing these tangible things with our neighbors in need.

The event is on December 12, 2009.

*Slightly used is okay.
