Cheney coat drive keeps many warmer this winter

You did it again, Cheney. It will be a warmer winter for many thanks to the hard work and generosity of the Cheney community.

A total of 374 coats were donated to this year’s coat drive and 309 were given away at three separate distributions. The remaining coats have been donated to the Cheney clothing exchange.

Special thanks to the Cheney Kiwanis without whose work this event could not happen, Big Wash for laundering many of the coats, Copy Junction for printing the publicity fliers and AAA storage where coats were stored prior to distribution. Thanks, also, to all of the schools, businesses and churches that had collection boxes and to church members that helped with cleaning.

Working together, once again, made this annual event a success.
