IAGB Event Recap

We are delighted to share a heartwarming recap of the Winter Coats Drive organized by IAGB throughout February which is now extended through March 2024! This initiative aimed to spread warmth and compassion within our community during the chilly winter months, through a basic necessity – Coats for Winter.

It’s not just for comfort: going outside without adequate protection against the cold is dangerous. During the winter, the elderly are at a higher risk of heart attacks, and children are vulnerable to hypothermia and pneumonia.

Our Benefactor Choice for the Winter Coats Drive is Action for Boston Community Development, IncABCD helps families in need with warm clothing for the harsh winter months. They accept donations of coats, scarves, boots, gloves, mittens, hats, and anything else that can help a family bundle up in the cold.

Recognizing the persistent need for winter essentials, IAGB decided to extend its Feb. Winter Coats drive through the month of March, allowing for continued contributions and support through the winter months. Donations poured in, reflecting the community’s commitment to making a positive impact.

To ensure accessibility for all, multiple collection points are established at Bedford, Burlington, Belmont, and Westford, making it convenient for donors to contribute gently used or new winter coats. So far we have around 10 bags of winter clothing collected by our community members, surpassing our initial expectations.

IAGB extends its sincere gratitude to each member of the community who contributed to the Winter Coats Drive. Your generosity and compassion have made a tangible difference in the lives of many, embodying the spirit of unity and support that defines our community. Your gift of winter clothing will directly benefit those who need it the most.

Keep giving, keep shining!
