Editor,
Anne Engebretson and the staff of Port Polson Inn would like to thank the Mission Valley for all of their generous donations during our 19th year of the Coats for Kids program. We were able to give out over 200 coats this year but could not have done so without the tremendous amount of support we received from the community. We would also like to give special thanks to Diana Sawyer for all of the beautiful hand-crocheted hats and scarves she donated to the program.
Year after year, we are just absolutely amazed by how charitable and warm-hearted our community is. There will always be people in need and it’s comforting to know that the folks around Mission Valley are so munificent and always look out for each other during hard times. Thanks to the community, many children and families who otherwise may not have been so fortunate were able to stay warm throughout the cold winter with the donated coats and winter gear.
Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” The act of giving seems to come so naturally to so many of you around here. Local businesses and individuals alike make such a big difference in our community with their continuous support and selfless donations and for that, we thank you again. God bless America.
