On October 28, the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation gave a brand-new winter coat to every elementary school student in the Chester Upland School District.
The event, held at Main Street Elementary School in Upland, concludes the foundation’s month-long distribution effort, during which over 37,000 new winter coats have been given to students.
In addition to the coat giveaway, the foundation also presented a $5000 check to the Chester Upland School District to create a school uniform bank to provide uniforms to students with hardships.
The Conicelli dealerships have participated in the annual coat drive since its inception in 2008, and are proud to have been a part of this important effort which has donated over 177,000 new coats to students in 85 school districts, YMCAs, social service agencies, homeless shelters and more.
