“We’d like to thank everyone who supported us in doing the most good. God is showing up in a mighty way within our community, and we are blessed by everyone’s generosity,” said Captain Jonathan Raymer, Augusta Area Commander. “As we near the end of our drive, we are still in need of coats. It is now easier than ever to pick out, purchase, and ship a warm winter coat directly to us through our Amazon Wish List.”

Items needed for the drive include gently used or new coats, specifically heavy winter coats similar to those published on the Salvation Army of Augusta’s Amazon Wish List. Monetary gifts will also be accepted. All donations will stay local and are tax-deductible.
