To all of our friends and neighbors, the Brethren of Pennsylvania Masonic District 25 are once again hosting their annual Coats for Kids drive. Last year, more than 300 coats—along with gloves, hats, and boots—were distributed to children in need throughout our area.

Please consider supporting this important cause by donating new or gently used coats and winter gear at one of the collection sites:

• the Meadville Tribune,

• the Meadville Public Library,

• the Conneaut Lake branch of ErieBank, or

• the front step of the Crawford County Masonic Center at 11049 Hollis Road, Meadville, PA 16335.

If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please make them payable to Crawford Lodge 234 and mail them to: Crawford Lodge 234, ATTN: Mr. Jack Flaugh, 11049 Hollis Road, Meadville, Pa 16335.

Thank you in advance for helping local kids stay warm!
