ATLANTA – State Representative Mike Glanton (D-Jonesboro), along with Mission Agape, Inc., a Korean-American non-profit organization, recently distributed over 150 winter coats and 500 pairs of new socks to Clayton County non-profit organizations on Thursday, November 7, 2019.
“Partnering with Mission Agape, Inc. to deliver these much needed supplies is always a rewarding experience that I look forward to each year,” said Rep. Glanton. “As the weather becomes colder, the need for winter items for our shelters and vulnerable population increases, and Georgia citizens, no matter their circumstance, deserve to have these basic items.”
Rep. Glanton and Mission Agape, Inc. presented the jackets to agency representatives from more than 15 non-profit organizations, including shelters, temporary housing providers, veterans (veteran services organizations) and the Clayton County Public Schools Student Services Department, among others. This year’s winter supplies drive was open to any additional Clayton County non-profit organizations that provide services to low-income young adults, homeless individuals and veterans in need. This is the eleventh year Rep. Glanton and Mission Agape, Inc. have presented coats and other winter supplies.
