Dear editor,
The Concerned Citizens Group and its Community Outreach Street Ministry thank everybody who participated in their annual coat drive and community Thanksgiving dinner. This includes those who donated and those who collected and prepared food and other items.
About 75 coats were donated before the giveaway, and approximately 25 more were dropped off during the event.
Last Tuesday, with your help, we delivered 38 Thanksgiving meals to homebound individuals and fed 125 more people at the community sit-down dinner.
Community Outreach Street Ministry events like these are fully funded through donations to the program.
The next COSM event is the Dec. 16 Christmas community sit-down dinner. It will be held at Carver-Hill School Center, 461 School Ave., Crestview. Everyone is welcome to attend.
For more information on the Concerned Citizens group or its Community Outreach Street Ministry, contact Catherine Dortch, 682-5733, Rosetta German, 585-3061, or Mary Williams, 1-469-556-5705.
