Back in September I posted a blog about the Webster Knight of Columbus‘ 14th annual Coats for Kids initiative. Its purpose is to raise funds to purchase and distribute new winter coats to children in need throughout Monroe and Wayne counties. Over the last 13 years, our local KofC Trinity Council #4618 raised enough money to provide more than 4,100 coats AND 288 pairs of sneakers.
This year, thanks to the incredible generosity of the Webster community and business owners, the Knights were able to purchase an amazing 552 new winter coats for distribution to children in need. The coats were distributed earlier this month to 32 charitable organizations, school districts and churches throughout the Rochester area. In Webster, organizations which received coats included Webster Hope, Webster Community Chest and the Webster Central School District.
J. Stewart Coon, Chairman of “Coats for Kids,” wrote,
Every year I am amazed at the generosity from our membership, various organizations, and the general public who answered our call for donations. The Knights of Columbus, Trinity Council #4618, wishes to THANK all who contributed in any way. A special thanks to Cottreall-Warner Sons of the American Legion, Cottreall-Warner American Legion Auxiliary, Tubridy Financial Advisors, Town & Country Landscape Enterprise, John R. Robb, MD, Rich Marlin Financial Advisor, & Spoletta Construction for their most generous donations.
