Help Keep Our Neighbors Warm This Winter
The Kiamensi Civic Association is proud to support the New Castle County Police Department Coat Drive. We are collecting new and gently used coats to help local individuals and families stay warm during the colder months.
If you would like to contribute, please bring your coat donations to the Community Fall Festival on October 17. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a fun community event while also making a meaningful difference for those in need. If you are unable to attend, reach out to Katie Chandler to arrange a drop off.
Every donated coat helps provide warmth, comfort, and support to a neighbor this winter season.
