POLO — Polo Women’s Club held its fifth annual Coat Drive on Nov. 2, and thanks to the generosity of the community, 124 coats and numerous hats, scarves and mittens were donated for the event. Crossroads Community Church once again provided the use of their facility in Polo that allowed easy sorting of the donations, as well as ease in shopping. The club decided to bring any remaining winter apparel to New Life Lutheran Church in Sterling. A group from the church will be making another trip to the Asheville, North Carolina area leaving on Nov. 21. They will be delivering winter clothing to the victims of Hurricane Helene along with blankets, pillows, sleeping bags just to name a few items.
Polo Women’s Club is a member of District 13 of the Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs – Illinois. GFWC-Illinois is a philanthropic organization dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of its member clubs’ service to local and international communities, community improvement and enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
