Coats for Kids - thru Nov 16th

11/7/2012

The City of San Carlos is working with Recology San Mateo County on the annual Coats for Kids Program.  The program collects new and gently used coats to donate to those in need of a warm coat during the cold weather season.

From Monday, November 5th through Friday, November 9th, drivers from Recology will collect coats curbside from residential homes on their collection day. Residents are asked to place coats in a clear plastic bag marked "Coats for Kids" and to then place the bag next to or on the top of their blue Recycle Cart on their regular collection day, during the week of November 5 to 9.

A collection container labeled "Coats for Kids" is also available in the Lobby of City Hall at 600 Elm Street in San Carlos from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.  This container will be available through Friday, November 16.

At the end of the drive, Recology will deliver all of the donated coats to local non-profit agencies for distribution to those in need.
