With a goal of collecting 10,000 donated winter coats, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pilgrimdrycleaners.com\/community\/coats-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\">2015 Coats for Kids Drive<\/a> is in full swing and goes through Friday, Oct. 9.<\/p>\n<p>The program got its start in 1986 after a woman who couldn\u2019t afford to buy her child a winter coat stopped by Pilgrim and asked company founder Don Rosen if any had been left behind. After giving the woman a coat, Don realized he had found a way to make a difference in the community. Three decades and 384,000 winter coats later, thousands of Minnesotan kids have been warmed by Don\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Coats for Kids Drive has a special significance, as Don passed away on Sept. 17 at the age of 94. Honor Don&#8217;s\u00a0legacy of giving and help our kids stay warm by dropping off your gently-used children\u2019s and adult-sized coats at any of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pilgrimdrycleaners.com\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\">25 Pilgrim Dry Cleaners locations<\/a> throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro. Pilgrim customers can also give their coats to their home and office delivery driver. Those who donate their coats will receive a dry cleaning coupon. Many local schools also take part in the Coats for Kids Drive, with Subway throwing a party for the school that collects the most coats.<\/p>\n<p>Prime is proud to call Pilgrim Dry Cleaners one of our clients and we would like to draw attention to their community involvement and outreach. As cold as Minnesota winters are, every child should have the opportunity to frolic in the snow and wait at the bus stop with a warm coat. So donate today and let\u2019s get this goal of 10,000 coats all zipped up!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CoatsForKids_Logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-5243 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CoatsForKids_Logo-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"CoatsForKids_Logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CoatsForKids_Logo-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CoatsForKids_Logo.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/pilgrim-logo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-5244 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/pilgrim-logo-2-300x148.jpg\" alt=\"pilgrim logo 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/pilgrim-logo-2-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/pilgrim-logo-2-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.primeadvertising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/pilgrim-logo-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 30 years, Pilgrim Dry Cleaners has been on a mission to ensure every local child is equipped with a warm coat for Minnesota\u2019s brutal winters.
