Coats for the City is a ministry that serves alongside NYC churches by distributing coats to those in need. This December, an HG Missions team will travel to NYC to help distribute your donated coats. In support of this trip, we are holding a Winter Coat Drive at all campuses on November 8. Click here to find out more.
