Coats for Kids

Laura Dizon • September 23, 2014

Our Coats for Kids drive is now in full swing!  You have the opportunity to help keep a child in need warm this winter by donating a coat at any Pilgrim Cleaners. Our goal this year is to collect 10,000 coats, and to date we have collected 377,000 coats!  All of the used coats we receive are cleaned, and then distributed to 8 local charities for distribution throughout the area.

The Coats for Kids drive this year is from September 15 to October 10, 2014.  You may also participate by sending a cash donation to Coats for Kids, c/o Pilgrim Cleaners, 3217 85th Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443.

We wish to thank this years sponsors, WCCO radio, KARE 11, The Minnesota Sun Newspapers, and Subway Restaurants.  We also wish to thank United Trailer leasing for their generous donation of trailers to use to store the coats.
