Coat Drive History from the Founder


Letter from the Founder - Cedric Johnson

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

  

I want to thank all of you that donated coats, sponsored coats and gave words of encouragement to help keep the ministry going this year.  Your love has given us great joy and encouragement, because you have refreshed the hearts of many. I also want to that all of the participants that helped distribute the coats this year. Your time and effort is appreciated in so many ways. I want to give a special thank you to D&K Menswear (Jonathan, Elie and Mona) for allowing Scholar Keeper to purchase the new coats from your stores. A special Thank You also goes to the 6th Grade Math and Green Team of Woodland Middle School and Eric Ellis for the generous donations to this year's coat drive

We passed out over 156 coats, 108 hats, and 108 pairs of gloves in 2 cities. This year we passed out coats at the same time in Atlanta and Birmingham.  Our participants in Birmingham were Michael Banks, Angela Banks, Malik Banks, Alex Banks, Regina and Angela Burke, Terri Rush, Willie Frazier, Leroy Stover, Greg Dawson, and Anita Williams. Our participants in Atlanta were Alex Nance, Sr., Alvin Dollar, Kenton Eskridge, Kevon Eskridge, Jelani Woods, Davion Waluyn  and me.  We packed up our vehicles on December 20th and rode through the streets of Atlanta and Birmingham looking for homeless people to give out coats.  Our first stop was at the KES community holiday program in Dekalb County where we donated coats and clothing to needy families. We also gave clothing and shoes to Atlanta Union Mission, a homeless family shelter in downtown Atlanta.  .
