As the weather turns colder, Burnaby Rotarians are gearing up for the annual Rotary Coats for Kids campaign.
Every year, the Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown collects new and gently used winter coats to redistribute to local children from low-income families, so they can keep warm in winter.
This year's goal is to collect 1,500 coats. Readers can help by dropping off waterproof, hooded coats at any of Burnaby's four library branches until Nov. 30. Other drop-off locations include The UPS Store at 7655 Edmonds St., Staples locations at 5821 Marine Way and 4265 Lougheed Hwy., and the Burnaby Neighbourhood House locations at 4460 Beresford St. or 4463 Hastings St.
Cheque or cash donations can also be dropped off at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House. There are tax receipts for $20 donations, which is the minimum to cover the costs of a child's coat.
