PARSIPPANY — Members of First Baptist Community Church helped giving out hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and pajamas during the 25th Annual Coat Giveaway held by Market Street Mission.
Market Street Mission hosted their Annual Coat Giveaway on the Morristown Green, on Saturday, November 7. The coat giveaway started at 10:00 a.m. and continued until 2:00 p.m.
The free new and gently used coats and jackets were donated by area residents, churches and corporations.
Volunteers sorted the donated coats at their Thrift Store and helped on the day of the Coat Giveaway. The coats, and other warm winter clothing, was distributed to the neediest men, women and children, along with information on other services the Mission offers.
For the past 125 years, the Market Street Mission has ministered to the homeless, helpless, and hopeless in Northern New Jersey by meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through a structured program which enables them to lead responsible, productive lives.
The Market Street Mission is still accepting coats at their Thrift Store, located at 25 George Street, off Martin Luther King Avenue.
Donations are always welcome with all money raised in the thrift store going to support the work of the Mission.
