Strathmore Dodge with Royal LePage, Rocking Horse Industries, and Co-operators Insurance had a successful coat drive.
"I'm guessing I probably have at least 400 articles of clothing this year, plus toiletries, plus some food and socks, all the fun stuff," expressed the General Manager of Strathmore Dodge, Shawn Kisling.
Kisling said the exposure of social media and StrathmoreNow made people aware of the coat drive.
"Once the article was published, I had people coming in the next day with items. Every time someone comes in like I almost tear up."
Kisling will be taking the donations over to the Strathmore Overnight Shelter tonight (Dec 22).
"I will be delivering the clothing to Paster Karp tonight and she has no idea how much I will be bringing. I am just going to pull up in a truck full of donations."
Kisling leaves off by saying, "The community is just incredible, Wheatland County and Strathmore. I can't thank them, enough."
