The Quakertown Farmers Market is in the midst of our 23rd Annual Winter Coat Drive. It will run until Sunday, October 21st. The Market is asking everyone to clean out their closets of gently used coats that are no longer needed. Coats that are clean and still in good repair can be brought to the Market Office, located at Exit #4. All coats collected will go to our local Salvation Army to help our needy neighbors stay warm this winter. Together, we can make a difference.
