KATV films the Coat Drive Kick Off at the Center
In celebration of its fifth anniversary, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center kicks off a community-wide coat drive to benefit central Arkansas children and families.
The five-day coat drive begins Saturday, Nov. 14 and ends Wednesday, Nov. 18. The Center is spearheading along with partners Central Arkansas Gastroenterology Clinic, KATV Ch. 7, Oak Forest Cleaners, Salvation Army and the Little Rock Fire Department.
The Center will serve as the central drop off location. Other locations include Oak Forest Cleaners, located at 8717 West Markham and 1217 Fair Park Road in Little Rock, and any Little Rock Fire Station. Donors will receive a special gift ($25 value) from the Clinton Museum Store by bringing their coat donation receipt during the five-day coat drive. In addition, a ten percent discount will be offered at on-site restaurant Forty Two during the five-day celebration.
"The coat drive is an opportunity for many people to participate and for many people to benefit," said Connie Fails, manager of the Clinton Museum Store and chairperson of the Clinton Center Coat Drive. "We want our fifth anniversary to reflect the Center's commitment to the community as well President Clinton's belief in the importance of giving."
The theme for the Clinton Center's fifth anniversary is "Five Days of Giving," which is a five-day celebration to thank the citizens of Arkansas for their support of The Center.
