are “like new” coats acceptable? my husband has several coats he doesn’t wear. they are like new.
The club is collecting new items, but George Searle, chair of the Peninsula Community Foundation, says he has an outlet for gently used coats and sweaters. Please deliver them to the club in a garbage bag with his name and he will get them to the right place. hey should be delivered to the club by this Saturday.
What is meant by “he has an outlet”? Are they still going to Asheville/Banner Elk?
