The Bagnall Community Service Group is running its yearly coat drive now through November 1, 2022. Clean, Gently Used Coat donations are truly appreciated! We hope to beat our last year's drive which collected 400 coats to keep individuals in need in our community warm this winter. There is a drop off bin at the Bagnall entrance door.
