Rotarians delivered 190 boxes of winter coats and snow boots to 29 Fort Collins elementary schools on behalf of the Fort Collins-based non-profit Coats & Boots. The 190 boxes were filled with 1,500 new winter coats and 1,500 pairs of boots for Poudre School District children in need.“This past year, our Rotary awarded a Community Service grant to Coats and Boots so it could purchase winter coats and boots for school children, and now we got to help deliver those coats and boots—plus a whole lot more coats and boots—to schools that will hand them out to students,” states Bob Melrose, a member of the Club’s delivery team.
“No child should be without a warm winter coat and a nice pair of snow boots. And it warms my heart to see our Rotary helping keep school children warm now that cold weather is on its way.”
