The colder weather is moving in, so it is time to bundle up. For some, this time of year is more than just a change in temperature. According to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the Oklahoma Institute of Child Advocacy, 15% of Oklahomans live in poverty and 20% of children in Oklahoma live in poverty.
This year Arvest Bank has teamed with Shared Blessings for “Coats Now” to provide McAlester with much-needed coats. Donations of new or gently used coats—children’s or adults—can be dropped off at Arvest Bank, 101 S. 3rd, now through November 7th.
“We recognize the significant need this year especially,” says Gene Walker, President, Arvest Bank, McAlester. “Arvest Bank appreciates the community and wants to help.”
Shared Blessings inventory is running low on coats for those in need. So join Arvest Bank with “Coats Now” and help keep Oklahoma’s adults and children in need warm this winter.
