The second-annual Jingles for Jackets took place on Thursday, Dec. 23 although organizers made some last-minute changes to account for the extreme cold, the event was a huge success, raising $521 for the Kimberley Food Bank and 822 articles of warm clothing.
Coordinators Jingles for Jackets, which takes place this Thursday, are still going ahead with the event despite the cold weather forecasted, saying they’d decided, “there’s something wrong about cancelling a warm clothing drive event because it’s too cold outside.”
