Community Coat Drive

COMMUNITY COAT DRIVE AT THE BBCC

We’re hosting a community coat drive at the Broad Brook Community Center on Friday November 20. With the cold weather arriving early and many families facing tough financial times, even one spare coat can make a meaningful difference. If you have a gently used winter coat you no longer need, we’d be grateful to pass it along.

Drop off coats at the BBCC - 3940 Guilford Center Road - Guilford, VT. 

Collection Times:

Friday, November 21: 8:00 AM – NOON

What to Bring:

Clean, gently used winter coats (all ages & sizes welcome)

Please check pockets before donating.

Why This Matters:

A warm coat can bring comfort, dignity, and security as temperatures drop. Your generosity, whether through a coat donation or simply sharing this information, helps ensure our neighbors stay warm and supported.  This is what community is all about.

Community Essentrics Class

Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.
