Hazleton Rotarians Nadine Bott, Michele Kushmeder, Nina Bonus, Anne Frey, Donna Dougherty, Joan Buffington, Michelle Genetti and Altagracia Arias, HIP Volunteer sort and pack coats delivered to local schools.Pat and Kathy Ward also assisted.
Many children from the Greater Hazleton Area will be warmer during the upcoming winter season, thanks to the Hazleton Rotary Kidz Coatz project.
Ever since the Kidz Coatz project took off in 2007, Hazleton Rotary has continued the work and effort put into purchasing, sorting and delivering winter coats to area children.
Working with local retailers, primarily Boscov’s, brand new coats were purchased for children who need them from all elementary/middle schools in the Hazleton Area School District.
Children who will receive coats were confidentially identified by their teachers.
Rotarians Rossanna Gabriel, Katherine Silfa and Donna Dougherty are project chairs.
Rotary President JoAnn Buffington says, “This has always been an awesome project. Unfortunately, through the years Rotary has been told that there were kids going to school who were definitely not dressed for the cold, winter days. It’s a great feeling for the club to be able to bring this warmth into their lives. For this reason, I am very glad we have dedicated Rotarians who help us continue our Kidz Coatz project. Thank you all so much!”
