Coats for Kids Drop-Off Boxes are Ready
In partnering with iHeartMedia-NH Radio stations, Cleary Cleaners, and The United Way, HRCU will be collecting and distributing coats for needy children and families for the chilly winter ahead. We are calling on our HRCU Members to donate new or gently used coats at our Rochester, Dover, Farmington, and Spaulding High School branches. All sizes are welcome. Collection boxes will be available now until December 10th, and every bit helps!
iHeartMedia-NH President, Joe Graham, remarks on the impact of this drive over the years, saying "We are constantly amazed at how our audience has responded to the call to help others... Thousands and thousands of coats have been donated over the last nine years - a testament to the generosity of New Hampshire people!"
