Help someone with Coats For Kids
The 16th Annual Coats for Kids will accept coats October 15, 2010 – January 9, 2011
The mission of Coats For Kids is simple- anyone in need of a coat will have
one. Anton's Cleaners, a clothing care company with 43 store locations in Massachusetts
and Southern New Hampshire, will begin accepted gently used, warm kid, adult
and baby sized winter coats for the 2010/2011 drive beginning October 15,
2010.
Since the program began in 1994, Anton’s has collected, cleaned free of charge and distributed over 620,000 gently worn winter coats to men, women and children who would otherwise be without one. The program receives invaluable support from collection, promotional, supporting and distribution partners as well as individuals.
We are looking forward to another successful year,
with plenty of coats and warmth given to those in need -
But We Need Your Help.
Here’s how you can get involved and take action this fall:
- Become a Collection Partner: Help collect winter coats so they can be distributed to those in need.
- Become a Supporting Partner: Make a financial contribution, directly benefiting the School Rewards Program.
- Involve your school: Organize a school wide coat drive and participate in the Coats For Kids School Rewards Program.
