2020 Christmas Season

“For the past four years we have been collecting gently used blankets and coats to distribute to the homeless in Robertson & Davidson County. Because of the outpouring of support we have received in the past few years we have been able to donate hundreds of items to the homeless shelter to keep our community warm during the cold winter months.

“We have put so much thought into how we can safely continue with our program this year. Due to safety concerns related to Covid-19 we will not be able to accept physical donations this year. What we would like to do instead is accept donations through Go Fund Me.

“All donations will go towards purchasing items to keep our community warm this year. If you would like to donate to
Thomas’s Closet we would greatly appreciate it. Any amount will help.

“Thank you so much for joining us in our endeavor to keep our community warm.
