FUTURE
COATS FOR THE EAST BAY AGENCY
FOR CHILDREN
Concord, CA - Despite the
winter
weather, people turned out to support the East Bay Agency for Children
(EBAC) and
those in need in the Concord community by dropping off new and gently
used
coats at Future Ford Lincoln Mercury of Concord between February 26 -
28, 2010.
Over 60 coats were collected
from
Future Ford Lincoln Mercury customers, employees and Concord residents
for area
children that sometimes don't attend school because they do not have a
warm
coat. General Manager, Rick Dumas, and employees at Future Ford Lincoln
Mercury
of Concord learned of a need in the community and decided to help.
"Doing business in the
Concord
community means caring about those in it," said Dumas. "It was brought
to our
attention there was this need, and we wanted to be part of a solution.
It's not
much, but at least nearly 65 children will have warm coats for the rest
of the
winter. Future Ford Lincoln Mercury of Concord is really blessed to be
part of
a community with such caring customers, employees and residents."
Future Ford Lincoln Mercury
of Concord
hopes to turn this into an annual drive, continuing to work with the
EBAC.
"The
East Bay Agency for Children wishes to thank the many generous donors
that
helped make the recent coat drive sponsored by Future Ford Lincoln
Mercury of
Concord a huge success," said Brenda Lynch, director of development for
the
EBAC. "With their support dozens of children served by EBAC will now
be
the fortunate beneficiaries of kindness and will have a warm coat to
wear to
school. Our special thanks to Future Ford Lincoln Mercury of Concord for
making
this possible."
