Nearly 15% of Americans are currently living in poverty.  For these families and individuals, a warm coat is a budget extra they simply cannot afford.

All donated coats will be cleaned and made available for distribution to Sanborn Central students in need.

"The American ideal is not that we all agree with each other, or even like each other, every minute of the day. It is rather that we will respect each other's rights, especially the right to be different, and that, at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one country, and one community, and that our well-being is inextricably bound up with the well-being of each and every one of our fellow citizens."     -- C. Everett Koop
