BASSETT & FIRST CHOICE CLEANERS SEEK DONATIONS FOR COATS FOR KIDS

Cooperstown, N.Y. – Bassett and First Choice Cleaners are collecting gently used winter coats during October for the Coats for Kids program at Bassett locations and at the Cooperstown, Oneonta and Delhi First Choice Cleaners locations. First Choice Cleaners are donating dry cleaning services for the garments.

Coats for Kids is a program that many organizations nationwide participate in to ensure that families who have no coats for their kids get one at no cost. Children’s winter coats, snowsuits and snowpants are needed.

• Donations from the community will be accepted at the following locations:
• Bassett Clinic, River St., Cooperstown
• Herkimer Health Center, 321 East Albany St.
• Oneonta Health Center, 125 Main St.
• Oneonta Specialty Services, 1 Associate Dr. (off River St.)
• First Choice Cleaners (18 Main St., Oneonta; 99 Chestnut St., Cooperstown; and Price Chopper Plaza, Delhi)

“Every year it is important to have the Coats for Kids program in place, so families can obtain warm winter coats for their children,” said Craig Gelbsman, owner of First Choice Cleaners.

Coats will be collected through October and will be distributed at Herkimer Health Center, 321 East Albany St., on Saturday, Nov. 6, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and at Oneonta Health Center, 125 Main St., on Saturday, Nov. 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. For more information, call 607-547-3914.
