Dexter, Missouri - The ShowMe Times is continuing our support of these two amazing teenagers in Dexter, Missouri. We published an article recently of how "Two People With One Goal" were able to create a beautiful collaboration between a community and those that needed their help. They established "End Poverty in Stoddard County" and decided as their first commitment to the community was to host a Coat Drive.

Just in case you have not heard about these wonderful students , the "End Poverty in Stoddard County" Coat Drive surpassed its goal of 100 coats. The final count was 348 coats donated!! Awesome job!!

It's truly amazing how two Dexter High School Students can do so much in such a short period of time. The Stoddard County community is so proud of Alexis Smith and Jacob Robinson. They proved that they are truly "two people with one goal!"

Alexis and Jacob, both wish to thank so many who helped make this Coat Drive a success. Special thanks to the Corner Cottage of Dexter, Southern Bank, Dexter Medical Center, Kim Williams and Kellie Reese.

Jacob and Alexis delivered the coats to the Stoddard County Mission and will be giving away many coats to the elementary schools throughout the county this week.

To find out what their next community project will be or for more information about this new organization, "End Poverty in Stoddard County", they have established a website, www.endpovertystoddardcounty.com and a Facebook page.
