Coats for Linder Elementary

This winter, The Vine is collecting 300 coats for the kids at Linder Elementary. About 600 students go to Linder, and 93% of them come from families who are economically disadvantaged. For a lot of these kids, a warm coat isn’t a given. 300 coats means half the school gets one.

That’s a big goal, bigger than our church can reach alone. So we’re asking you to bring your people. Ask your workplace if they’d like to join in. Share it with your neighborhood. Get your VineGroup together and buy coats as a group. Whatever circles you’re in, invite them along.

It’s also an easy, natural way to tell people about The Vine. This is who we are: neighbors showing up for our neighbors.

How to help (by December 13):

• Buy a coat from our registry: www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/Q8BK95XNMBWF. Coats ship straight to us.

• Drop off a coat: new or like-new kids’ coats in elementary sizes. Bring them to church on Sunday now until Dec 13th.

• Share it: send this to your coworkers, neighbors, and friends!

We’ll post updates as the coats come in. Let’s get these kids warm!
