Members of the Hazleton Rotary Club, family and friends sorted, packed and delivered coats, provided by the Hazleton Rotary Club Kidz Coatz project to some needy children in the Greater Hazleton Area. Working with local retailers, brand new coats were purchased for children in need from all eight elementary/middle schools in the Hazleton Area School District. The coats are distributed to those children who are confidentially identified by their teachers. This winter season more than 400 coats will be given to keep area children warm. Coats will be delivered to the schools before the Thanksgiving break. The Hazleton Rotary Foundation, a 501©(3) non-profit affiliate of the Rotary Club, has conducted this project, annually, since 2007.
