The long awaited results from our Club’s support of the Winter Coat Drive for the families at Solid Ground are now in. And, once again, thanks to the generosity of our members the families, and especially the children, will be much warmer this winter.
Here is a summary of your contributions, and it is impressive:
Eleven of you directly contributed a total of $1,140 to Solid Ground for the purchase of winter wear, especially for buying hard to find sizes. Of those contributions, seven of you donated $100 or more.
Ten of you contributed a total of 88 coats and a wide assortment of hats, gloves, jackets and sweaters. This total included 36 new children and women coats costing an estimated $950. The breakdown of the coats you contributed to the families at Solid Ground looks like this:
Although hard to estimate, the value of all those gently used coats and assorted other winter wear amounted to about $800.
