Through December 23, the Bengtson Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery and fashion retailer jb and me will host a coat drive to collect new women's and children's coats.
The organizations will partner with Alpha Women's Center and the Baxter Community Center to distribute the coats to women and children in need within the community.
December 1 – 23, the Bengtson Center and jb and me will host drop-off sites for women and children's coats at their respective locations in Grand Rapids and Holland. The Give+Love Holiday Coat Drive seeks to help ensure no one goes without a warm coat during West Michigan's cold winter months. This is the fourth year the Bengtson Center has organized a holiday coat drive.
"Giving a coat can be our community's way to show the warmth of love during the Christmas season to those who truly have a need we can meet." said Dr. Brad Bengtson, founder of the Bengtson Center.
Those who donate new coats (with tags) will receive a gift certificate for half off a skin care treatment at the Bengtson Center, as well as a coupon for $25 off a $75 or more purchase at jb and me. New coats (with tags) can be donated at:
The Bengtson Center, 555 MidTowne Street, Suite 110, Grand Rapids
