The sophomore Class of 2023 at Nashoba Tech held its annual Coats for Kids drive, collecting winter wear for children and adults for the program, organized annually by Anton’s Cleaners.
Each fall, Anton’s Cleaners collects, cleans and distributes more than 60,000 coats, with more than 250 schools, hundreds of companies, clubs, organizations and thousands of individuals donating.
Once the coats are collected, Anton’s distributes them to nearly social-service agencies that make sure they are delivered to people in need, free of charge. Since starting the program in 1995, Anton’s has collected and distributed more than 1 million coats.
The sophomore class at Nashoba Tech has participated in Coats for Kids for about 10 years.
