As part of its effort to raise funds for its 10th annual Coats for Kids program, the Rotary Club of Feasterville is seeking donations from area businesses, organizations and individuals.
“The service club raises the money for this charitable endeavor through its annual Spaghetti Dinner, but due to the pandemic health emergency, the club has decided to cancel the dinner and move ahead with this alternative Coats for Kids fundraiser,” said Deborah Kaplan, president of the Rotary Club of Feasterville.
“Our members are striving to replace the funds we usually raise from our annual dinner in order to continue to provide a significant number of winter coats for area children in need. Their ages range from preschool to the high school level. A large number of our recipients attend Tawanka, Ferderbar and Poquessing schools. We are going to make every effort to assure that none of our Coats for Kids students are cold during the winter season.”
Throughout the last decade, the Feasterville Rotary has donated more than 1,000 coats to area students.
“With that in mind, I’d like to invite everyone to join in support of this most worthwhile community benefit,” Kaplan said. “Also, everyone who makes a donation will have a chance to win a gift card to a local retail establishment. We will sincerely appreciate aid from our giving neighbors.”
The deadline to donate is Nov. 1. Make checks payable to the Rotary Club of Feasterville and mail to: 4340 Chester Ave., Oakford, PA 19053. For additional information, contact Linda Pupkiewicz at 215-322-0170 or email feastervillerotary@gmail.com.
