Cleveland, OH — 10 employees from Collinwood Yard in Cleveland, OH teamed up with the local City Year group to help distribute coats during the annual Coats for Kids campaign.

Coats for Kids provides children in Northeast Ohio with new or gently worn coats. Safety Chairman Jerry Lambert started collecting coats and money in July.

All money collected is used to buy new coats for distribution to area youth. Employees from Collinwood Yard were pleased to donate a total of $1000 and 100 coats. Since 1981, Coats for Kids has raised more than $3 million and given more than 400,000 kids new or "like new" coats.
