Thanks to the generosity of people in northeast Indiana, 3500 coats were collected as part of the 8th annual Share the Warmth: Over the past 8 years, Peerless Cleaners, along with WANE-TV and Scott's Food and Pharmacy have take in, and cleaned over 18,000 coats as part of the drive. This year two new sponsors jumped onboard, Kroger and 93.3. All the coats are cleaned at Peerless Cleaners and then delivered to the RSVP (Retired Senior and Volunteer Program), which has been a Share the Warmth partner for several years. They are distributed throughout the area through schools and non-profit agencies in Allen, LaGrange, Noble and Wells counties, as well as to individual families who express need.
Without your help and caring for families in need, this program would not be the success that it has been for several years. Thanks to each and everyone who donated a coat to help a child or family stay warm this year.
