We are in the midst of our annual Warm Coats from Warm hearts coat drive.  This is our twelfth year to lead this effort in our community.  We have collected and distributed over 50,000 coats.  

You’ll find collection points throughout the Nashville area.  Coats may be dropped off at Price Point Furniture in Rivergate, H. G. Hill food stores, Bridgestone and Firestone auto centers, channel 4, many schools and churches, and of course here at the Granny White Church of Christ.  Call us to find a collection center near you.  If you wish to donate, please be sure coats are clean and on hangers.  If you’re in the area, drop by and we’ll give you a tour of the whole process. 

We anticipate collecting around 5,000 coats this year.  This year may be especially important because of the economy.   Our distribution day will be on November 14.   Second Harvest food bank will also be present to distribute food boxes.  

Our motivation for Warm Coats from Warm Hearts comes from the words of Jesus:  ”Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’  Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?   When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’  The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me’ (Matthew 25:34-40).

What a wonderful opportunity it is to serve others and glorify God in the process!
