The Rotary Club of Naperville Sunrise has launched its 22nd Annual Winter Coat Drive to benefit those in need of warm winter clothing.
The annual collection kicked off at the club’s weekly breakfast meeting on Oct. 16 at the Naperville Country Club and runs through Nov. 18.
Rotary volunteers are placing boxes in the community to receive donations of new or gently used coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves and mittens. All men, women, teens, and children’s sizes, infant through XXXL adult, are accepted.
Annual Rotary Sunrise Winter Clothing Drive begins!
“The mission of Rotary is ‘Service Above Self,’ and we are proud to partner with 360 Youth Services for their teen and young adult residential clients and Sharing Connections to deliver warm clothing to those in our area who are in need in the upcoming winter season,” said Mike Tenuta, Rotary Club of Naperville Sunrise President. “The Naperville community has always been very generous, and we look forward to another successful Winter Clothing Drive.”
