Rotaract Coats for Kids

Posted by Mary M. Leizear

The Rotaract Club of San Luis Obispo is organizing a "Coats for Kids" drive from August through October 2010. Similar to "Toys for Tots," coat collection stations will be set up throughout SLO at local schools, banks, churches and high traffic businesses to collect old jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts and coats. In Morro Bay, you can donate coats at Coast Electronics/RadioShack in Morro Bay located at 510 Quintana Road.

The apparel will then be cleaned by Paul's Dry Cleaning in SLO and taken free of charge to distribution organizations such as the Women's Shelter, Prado Day Center, SLO Police Department and local churches. Rotaract is looking for box donations to create the collection stations as well as hangars for the clothing once it has been cleaned.
