In the latest episode of the Imagine That podcast, Greg Weimer, host and CEO, sits down with Rachel White, Development & Communications Manager at South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM). Together, they dive into the heart behind “Confluence Coats for Kids,” an initiative aimed at providing children with a crucial yet often overlooked necessity: a warm coat.

As parents, friends, and members of a community, we all strive to equip our children with the tools for success. Sometimes, it begins with something as simple as a warm coat. Last year alone, SHIM distributed over 200 winter coats, yet still fell short of meeting the full need. That’s where we hope to step in, collecting winter coats and cold weather items to ensure that no child in our community goes without this fall and winter season.

Join us on Friday, October 4th from 12pm – 4:30pm at our McMurray office where we will collect winter coats and cold weather items (hats, gloves, mittens, etc.) for our community. Both youth and adult sizes will be accepted.

 We look forward to making an impact together!
