Future Ford Lincoln Mercury Collects 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."
