On behalf of The House of Ruth I would like to say thank you to everyone who partnered with us for our first Winter Coat Drive for Kids. We came together as a community to bless our schools with winter coats for kids. Thanks you to volunteers Dewonna Goodridge, Kimberly Knight, Mercy Goodridge for taking pictures and for helping get the coats to the schools.
I want to thank the Junction City community and the following organizations for agreeing to be a part of the effort with The House of Ruth, including The New Church of The Living God, the Geary Riley Saline Alumnae Chapter of Deltas Sigma Theta Sorority, the VFW Post 8773, the Military Order of the Cooties Pup Tent #6, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Thank You to Grandview Elementary, Washington Elementary, Westwood Elementary and Sheridan Elementary Schools in Junction City plus Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in Manhattan for allowing us to donate coats to their school for the kids.
