ALTON – The Junior League of Greater Alton is in the final week of its “Coats for Kids” campaign. The campaign is being led by a group of provisional members as a community impact project.

To date, more than $1,185 and 150 coats have been collected by the provisional members. The coats and the funds for the coats will be donated to River Bend Head Start and Family Services to provide coats for children in the Head Start program throughout Madison County.
