You bet collecting 1000 winter coats and gloves/mittens is a pretty daunting goal. It just so happens, though, that the prospect of a child walking to and from school this coming frigid winter will be far more challenging if that student doesn't have the proper warm clothing.
The goal of Schools Count Corp is to help children learn and in doing so we look at providing an array of resources that meet that end. Whether it is school uniforms, daily student supplies or winter wear, we are there to help kids.
Please consider being a part of our CPS 'Winter Wear' Drive. You can donate clean winter coats and/or gloves, purchase a new jacket or donate the funds to SCC and we, in turn, will purchase the clothing.
I can say that I never attended school without the proper attire, necessary supplies or the proper food. I am glad that my folks could provide these for me. Today, however, there are parents without the funds to help their children with these essentials and that is truly a travesty.
I appreciate your being a part of this effort to collect winter coats and gloves.
Many thanks,
Dick
