SILVER LAKE — The totals are in for the annual coat drive sponsored by Kerlin Family Business.
This year, 1,245 people will stay a little warmer this winter as a result of the 26th annual Kerlin family businesses and its coat drive.
The annual event, in cooperation with Kensington Digital Media, concluded last week and organizers have sent the 1,245 coats (along with other winter items) to be cleaned by Wildman Business Group and Peerless Cleaners before forwarding them to Combined Community Services for distribution.
This year’s total, oddly enough, was one more than the previous year.
Over the past 26 years, the coat drive has collected 28,684 coats.
Thanks to all who contributed!
