Area residents are asked

children and adults in need in

The program typically dis-
tributes 200 coats each fall.
In addition to the tradi-
tional donated Coats for Kids
Program, the Rotary Club and
Building Healthy Families
distribute new coats through
area schools and Head Start.
Using input from area
teachers and social workers,
approximately 75 new coats
will be distributed this fall.
Individual
Wallowa
County Rotarians and local
benefactors donate roughly
$2,000 each year to purchase
these coats.
Donations of new youth
size coats are also welcome;
please bring them to Building
Healthy Families at 207 NE
Park St, Enterprise.
Coat drop boxes are
located at Safeway, the Bank

available at the Wallowa Val-
