Coats for South Bend/Michigan Street Area

Samuel received a new coat today and was so happy with the cold weather we are having.
Terri was very happy to get a coat today. She had a coat on that she had borrowed.
Buddy, a homeless man who pushes a shopping cart everyday picking up scrap was one that was blessed with a new coat yesterday. Buddy also has a coat for his partner, Steve. Cookie is overjoyed with cowboy boots (just her size), a matching hat and glove set and a new coat.
It has been very cold and the timing on the coats could not have been better!!
Debra received a new coat today. She had a huge coat on that she had borrowed from a friend because she did not own one. I was actually across the street talking to someone else when she asked me if I had any coats. She was so happy!!!
Ben is homeless and sleeping in an abandoned house. I have had a hard time getting him a coat and today he received one that was still on the hanger brand new!!
Ben started putting his hands in all the pockets and pulled out a $10.00 card for Burger King!! This really made his day!! This was such an awesome idea by someone to bless them in this way!!
We are desperately needing winter boots and winter socks if you know someone that can help us out. Many of the people are wearing tennis shoes and complain about their feet freezing. Last night it got down to 5 degrees. Call us if you want to help with this need!!! Thanks and God Bless!!
