This fall, FRP is working with members of the community to put on a coat drive. Our goal is to help all people get access to the resources and services they need to live creative, healthy lives. Winter is on its way, and our neighbors are telling us that food, blankets, winter clothing, toys, and school supplies are needed to get through the season on a tight budget. Volunteers are needed to help organize this event and collect donations.
