Warm Winter Coats Wanted : Wrap Up 2024
Again the Club is taking the lead on running the Wrap Up Campaign in Central Lancashire.
We start collecting Warm Winter Coats on Monday 14th October until Sunday 10th November and are looking to beat last year's total of over 1150 useable warm winter coats. So come on everyone let's get clearing out our not wanted but servicable warm coats. All the coats will be passed on to local charities to arrange their free distribution to those in need, paricularly the homeless.
We rely on the continuing support of local supermarkets, businesses and schools who act as donation points, and for the support of our neighbouring Rotary Clubs. Please continue to donate coats to support those in need over the coming winter.
Collection Sites are shown on the Wrap Up Website
