How’s this for some Minnesota Nice? There are many refugees here in MN who’ll be experiencing their first winter soon and can’t really afford all that expensive winter gear. My first winter here was harsh and that in itself is my incentive to join this cause to soften the ’shock’ of winter for refugees who have just relocated here. If being nice is not incentive enough, try free drinks and free entry into these HOT spots.
WINTER CLOTHING COLLECTION FOR REFUGEES DRIVE: NOV 14TH THROUGH NOV 23rd
Please donate gently used or new:
..COATS..
..HATS..

..SCARVES..
