From November 28 through December 19, 2021, area congregations participated in a regional effort to collect winter clothing for Afghan refugees. Here’s what we collected:
1,383 coats
736 hats
596 gloves
444 scarves
1,585 socks
Other items also collected: blankets, sleepers, robes, snowsuits, vests and shoes. All items together totaled over 4,850!
This effort was a partnership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, HARC and Catholic Charities of Harrisburg, PA. The collection was a HUGE success with an outpouring of support from the community! Thanks to all who participated in this effort, including:
The Churches of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Hagerstown, Cumberland, and Hancock, MD, as well as in Chambersburg and McConnellsburg, PA; and in Berkley Springs and Keyser, WV.
