2011 Coats for Kids Drive

Coats for Kids is in it's 17th year at the office of Dr. Lois Flemming.  This is a project that is near and dear to all of our hearts.  Over the years, thanks to the generous spirit of our patients and the community, we have collected over 1000 new winter coats and over $5000 in cash for the foster children of Craven County. 

This year, we set a goal of 150 coats.  We are half-way through our drive (last day for collections is Friday, Dec. 16th), and we are not even close to 150 coats.  I know the economy has us all tightening our purse strings, and the drive is not over yet, but I am getting anxious that we will not be able to provide coats to all the foster children as we have in the past.  I would like to encourage you all to consider making a contribution to this wonderful charity. 

Coats for Kids is great way to give to our community.
