Those in need of warm winter clothing and blankets had plenty of options to outfit themselves after the Caring Hands Ministries coat and blanket giveaway Monday in Clermont. For a third year in a row, the ministry worked with the nonprofit Americans Helping Americans to collect winter coats, hats, jackets and sweats, blankets and hygiene products for one of several clothing drives Caring Hands Ministries hosts throughout the year. Ann Fleming, executive director and co-founder of Caring Hands Ministries, said the ministry and its clothing drives began with the persistence of a young girl wanting to help a classmate.
