Montgomery County Christmas Store Children's Spring Coat Drive
Help us help our local community! Please help support our Children’s Spring Coat Drive to benefit the Montgomery County Christmas Store!

How It Works: Montgomery County Christmas Store patrons get an allotment to purchase clothes/coats for their child.  These gently used coats are GIVEN to children who need them, which afford the parents an opportunity to get their child more clothes.

What You Do: Please bring your child’s gently used coats, (ages 12 months to 12 years), to your child care provider or school’s drop off location through May 20. 

• Participating Drop Off Locations Include:
• Rainbow Riders Childcare Center
• Dayspring Christian Academy
• Harding Elementary School
• Kipps Elementary School
• VA Tech Child Development Center for Learning and Research
• Wikiteria Market and Café at Virginia Tech’s CRC    

For more information, please contact Marti Graham at 540-552-2188 or Leigh Bortz 540-951-3636.
