<P><B>There are similar efforts in Baltimore City and County - one of the well-advertised ones is the</B><B> WBAL Radio "Coats for Kids" Campaign. I found three references to it on Google:</B><SPAN class=Normal><A name=Skip></A><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN class=Normal>Towson, MD (November 6, 2006) � Coats for needy families will be distributed during Thanksgiving week at local fire stations as part of WBAL Radio�s annual �Coats for Kids� campaign.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=Normal>The 2006 distribution schedule is as follows:</SPAN></P>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN class=Normal>Monday, November 20, 4 to 8 p.m., Westview Fire Station, 6300 Johnnycake Road.</SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=Normal>Tuesday, November 21, 4 to 8 p.m., Hillendale Fire Station, 6636 Loch Raven Boulevard.</SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=Normal>Wednesday, November 22, 4 to 8 p.m., Middle River Fire Station, 609 Compass Road.</SPAN></LI></UL>
<P><SPAN class=Normal>Coats are available for men, women and children. The selection varies from location to location. No identification is required.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=Normal>Coats left over at the end of the Coats for Kids drive are donated to the Baltimore County Department of Social Services.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=Normal>Each year during Thanksgiving week, the Baltimore County Fire Department participates in the "Coats For Kids" campaign. This campaign collects coats from donors for distribution to needy families. The coats are cleaned by participating area dry cleaners and taken by the Maryland National Guard to designated fire stations in Baltimore County for distribution during Thanksgiving week.</SPAN></P>

<P align=left>Companies with limited resources and a small employee</P>
<P align=left>base may want to consider a collaborative approach with</P>
<P align=left>other organizations and businesses. One such initiative</P>
<P align=left>through WBAL is the Coats for Kids campaign, a project</P>
<P align=left>that works to improve the lives of children in Baltimore.</P>
<P align=left>Radio 11 listeners donate good, used coats to the program</P>
<P align=left>by sending them to participating dry cleaners in the</P>
<P align=left>metropolitan Baltimore area. The dry cleaners clean and</P>
<P align=left>repair the coat if needed. The Maryland Air National Guard</P>
<P align=left>collects the clothes and distributes them to Baltimore City</P>
<P align=left>or Baltimore County fire stations. The people in the</P>
<P align=left>community can then go to the fire station and choose a</P>
<P align=left>coat. The companies that are in partnership with WBAL</P>
<P align=left>Radio Kids Campaign are: The Maryland Dry Cleaners</P>
<P align=left>Association, Baltimore City and County Fire Departments,</P>
<P align=left>and the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy Graduates</P>
<P align=left>Association, Chapter 94 of the Air National Guard.</P>

<P>> Jeff: <BR>> <BR>> Your sure can. We can hold them until next season at which time <BR>> they will be <BR>> needed for a new group of children. Or, alternatively they can be <BR>> donated to <BR>> Heart's Place Shelter since they now have complete families <BR>> staying there <BR>> during these cold days. <BR>> <BR>> This project was accomplished by members of Peabody Heights <BR>> Resident <BR>> Homeowners Alliance, Inc., and is in its second year of <BR>> accomplishing this for <BR>> children. As I said previously we want it to grow throughout the <BR>> city of Baltimore <BR>> since it provides a service that is not being addressed. <BR>> <BR>> Christian </P>
