December 8th – The Clovis Police Department held their annual coat drive to benefit the children of Clovis Unified.
About 100 coats were collected from donations at various locations throughout Clovis.
These coats were then distributed by the Clovis Family Resource Center, the disability service with Clovis Unified School District, to schools across CUSD.
Clovis North, Clovis West, Clovis East, Clovis, Gateway, and Buchanan area Transition Teams were given coats from the coat drive to be further distributed to those without the proper warmth during the approaching Winter season, set to take place on December 21st.
The CUSD Clovis Family Resource Center took the time to thank both the Clovis Police Department and the CUSD Transition Team for their efforts in these donations and for their coordination in administering coats to the proper avenues.
Coats were accepted for the coat drive from November 1-15th.
Officially, the Clovis Police Department was quoted as saying, “The Clovis Police Department is proud to team up with the Clovis Public Safety Employee Association annually to help children in Clovis stay warm each winter. Over the last few years, we have been able to donate over 500 coats to the Clovis Unified School District to hand out to their students who need a coat. Thank you to our community for your generous donations and helping keep our Clovis kids warm!”
