Catholic churchgoers give winter warmth

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Compassionate parishioners from greater Springfield's Roman Catholic churches provided warm clothing and blankets for the needy Saturday.

Churchgoers responded to call by filling a truck at the Bishop Marshall center in Springfield.

A donor from Wilbraham expressed her feelings for 22News.

“Those of us who've been given more need to give back as much if not more to the community, and It's going to be a cold winter, so I'm happy to help,” said Nancy Cullinan of Wilbraham.

The theme for the 8th annual winter clothing drive: "Every unused coat hanging in your closet belongs to the poor.”
