Mid-Atlantic Tire Pros in Easton, Md., is sponsoring its 10th annual Arlene M. John Koats for Kids Drive.
“We have collected over 4,500 coats over the last nine years. We appreciate the community continuing to embrace this annual event,” said Terry John, owner of Mid-Atlantic Tire Pros.
The drive began in 2007 in honor of Terry’s wife Arlene. To date, coats have been donated to children through the Neighborhood Service Center, Operation Christmas Spirit, the Easton Volunteer Fire Department, and Easton Middle School.
Partners in this year’s coat drive include Kohl’s, WCEI/WINX, the Star-Democrat, Crackerjacks, Ship and Print, Attraction Magazine, Admiral Cleaners in Easton, and SpiderWeb Connections.
