coats for kids


DECEMBER 30, 2007
–TROY, NY – The Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) is once again providing a coat for all of the children in their Head Start and Early Head Start programs. As in the past, they are thrilled to have Rensselaer County’s Unified Family Services and the Industrial Development Agency helping to sponsor the coat drive.  On hand to give out the coats was County Executive Kathleen Jimino along with several other County employees who helped in sorting and delivering the coats. 

“Knowing you were part of an effort to help children stay warm is truly a wonderful experience and I want to thank all who participated in the IDA golf tournament that generated the money used to purchase the new winter coats, and all of the County Employees who contributed their time and resources to this program that undoubtedly helped brighten a child’s holiday season,” stated Jimino.

This year the “Coats for Kids” program is being sponsored by various individuals and businesses, but CEO is still in need of additional sponsors in order to provide a coat and a toy for all of their children in the Head Start and Early Head Start programs. 

If you would like more information or you would like to make a donation towards CEO’s coat and toy drive, please contact Nancy Rice for further details at 272-6012 ext.  274.
