Summer is over and once again it’s time to prepare for the rapidly approaching winter season.  LFC and partner groups are already busy sending warm blankets, coats and clothing to the areas we serve.  Babies are especially vulnerable to cold temps and we want to make sure they have plenty of warm sleepers and blankets.
