Kidz Coatz 2015
Gary, Paul, Jason, Rich, Susan, Lani, Tracy, Donna, Jane, Mary Pat, Megan, Gene, Pat and Joe packed and delivered coats for the Hazleton Rotary Club’s annual Kidz Coatz Project.
Some needy children in the Greater Hazleton Area will be provided with new coats through the Hazleton Rotary Club Kidz Coatz Project. The Hazleton Rotary Foundation, a 501©(3) non-profit affiliate of the Rotary Club, is looking forward to continuing this project, held annually, since 2007.
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.
“The Rotary Foundation is very happy to be working with the Rotary Club of Hazleton, which annually provides generous financial support to this project. It does truly make you feel good to know we are helping children keep warm to and from school and in their wintertime play.” comments Rotary Foundation President Lex Sloot. “We are very, very grateful to all those community members who have donated to this project over the years—it has been truly awesome!”
Donna Barna and Megan Kennedy were project Co-chairs.
