Many people know that my absolute favorite television show of all time is The Golden Girls. Whenever I watch any episode (which is over at least a hundred times), I still laugh. I feel like I am in a room of dear friends with whom I feel happy, secure, and totally can be however I’m feeling…myself.
For all the years that “Matt’s Coats for Kids” has existed, local business owners, churches and community organizations, volunteers, and especially those who donated coats, mittens, and socks – all of you – have come through to make our annual mission work. We honor the memory of Matthew, Giana, and Everett and Eleanor by helping others and giving to people who are in need of it…hope for tomorrow.
