This broke my heart.  In the cold of Colorado, no child should be coatless.  If you are in the Longmont area, I've arranged with Melissa to consolidate coats for pick up from my house.  Any winter items are gratefully accepted, coats, hats, gloves, scarves. 

I'll be at Buzz Coffee this evening, 1139 Francis St, Longmont CO 80501.  Drop your items to me from 6pm to 7pm and I'll make sure they get to Melissa.

Subject: -{longmontfreecycle}- Wanted: Coats for Elementary Aged Kids
To: longmontfreecycle@yahoogroups.com

A boy in my son's kindergarten class had no winter coat this a.m. when it was 17 degrees out. I heard him telling his mom he was cold. He only had a sweater on. I know there are some other older kids in school showing up with no winter coats, either. This elementary school has 30% free lunch students, these families may not have any money for coats so if you have any sizes of kids coats, size 5 on up, I will pick up and donate to my elementary school asap! Thanks so much!
