On Thursday, November 20th, 3-6 pm at the Fireman’s Hall/ San Bruno Chamber of Commerce Office at 618 San Mateo Ave., the City of San Bruno in conjunction with San Bruno Garbage, will hold its annual “Coats For Kids” event. This special event was originally put together by Vicky Hasha in San Bruno when she donated her daughter’s used coat to one of the elementary schools here. When the teacher there suggested that there were a few children running around in the cold without coats, the idea of starting a coat drive took off and has been growing ever since! Every year 8 or so coat drop off locations are posted throughout San Bruno where it is announced in schools and workplaces to have people donate gently used coats fom infant to adult sizes. On the date of distribution, many people line up for their FREE coats, hot chocolate and cookies. It is a wonderful event designed to help ANYONE who is cold!
