Beginning November 1st, the Rotary Club of Des Moines is partnering with the Highline School District to collect winter coats for the students of Midway Elementary and other individuals within the community of Des Moines. Every child in our community deserves to be warm this winter and we want to make that a reality! Please help us in this endeavor by checking your closets for gently used coats or watch the ads and pick up a new one for a deserving youngster.
Donations of coats may be dropped off at Corky Cellars in Des Moines. To support this drive, Ric Jacobson, Rotarian and owner of Corky Cellars, is sponsoring three wine tastings (November 4th, November 11th and November 18th from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm). A donation of a coat or monetary contribution will provide an individual with three wine tastings.
Last year, the members of the Des Moines Rotary Club and the citizens of Des Moines contributed a total of 85 coats and $950 in cash, which greatly benefited both the students at Midway Elementary School and other residents in our community.
Please join us in making a difference. There is a limited time to participate in this event as the coat drive is scheduled to end on November 18th. For more information about the Coats For Kids Drive, please contact Community Service Chair, Steve Swank, at sfsaustin@comcast.net.
