Original coverage on page 7 in The Observer: Official Newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Rockford by Amanda Hudson, News Editor.

With cold weather coming, St. Thomas Aquinas Parish's Women In New Evangelization Ministry (WINE) teamed up with Birth to Five Illinois: Region 8 to keep children warm this winter at Amity Daycare and Learning Center and Head Start, both in Freeport. The parish women collected gloves and mittens, and Birth to Five Illinois provided hats. Then, in late November, the groups gave the warm winter wear to around 80 excited kids. A drive-through donation collection also benefited local charities.
