6th Annual Coats for Kids Coat Drive to Benefit Johnstown & Fulton-Fonda Elementary Schools!

It’s our 6th Annual Coats for Kids Coat Drive going on all October long at the Steet Ponte Auto Group! We created our coat drive in response to our Toy Drive that we started 16 years ago. We were getting an overwhelming request for winter coats and snow pants for kids, instead of gifts for the holidays. So we thought, why not kick off our Holiday Giving season with a Coat Drive in October, to get the kids their warm winter clothes before the snow falls! This year, our Coat Drive donations are going to: 

Utica & Rome Elementary Schools (Yorkville stores)

Herkimer & CVA Elementary Schools (Steet Ponte Chevy)

Johnstown & Fulton-Fonda Elementary Schools (Steet Toyota of Johnstown)

We are asking for donations of NEW coats, snow pants, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves. Sizes needed are all children’s sizes ranging from 4T-Kids XL Husky! Last year, we donated 675 articles of winter clothing and are looking to beat that number this year, but can only do it with YOUR help! Purchase a coat or winter outerwear item and bring it to any of our eight locations. We’ll have an area in our showroom designated for the donations where you can leave it. On November 1st, we’ll tally everything up and the schools will come to take everything back to be distributed! We hope you can help keep our local kids warm this winter and help our Coats for Kids Coat Drive!!
