At the Community Table –

This week JFM is back at the Community Table with the return of our Family Winter Clothing Drive! Help warm hearts, hands and our community as the seasons change by dropping off your new or lightly loved cold weather outerwear, Saturdays, until our last market day this year, Nov. 2nd. Ensure those once-forgotten items of clothing find a home! Donations may include winter coats, sweaters, scarves, boots, gloves, snow pants, etc. And, we’ll take blankets, too!
