Happy Hour Coat Drive

Soroptimist
International of Bellevue Metropolitan is collaborating with the Wells Fargo
Women’s Team Member Network and other Puget Sound Area Soroptimist clubs to collect new and gently used coats and jackets for local homeless women and
girls.

The need has never been greater and it’s never been easier to make a difference in your community.  Here is your opportunity to make sure that others won’t go without such a basic necessity as a coat this winter. 



If you would like to assist in this effort, just bring new or gently used coats and our Happy Hour Coat Drive from 5:00-7:00p.m. on Thursday, November 21. For the address and RSVP, please call Fiona Skelly at 206-275-3342. Soroptimist International of Bellevue Metropolitan will take care of the rest! All donated coats will be given to the Jubilee Women’s Center and the Salvation Army for distribution to local people in need.
