The Wake Forest Youth in Government Advisory Board will collect clean, gently used coats and jackets throughout March as part of a community service project.
Coats of all shapes and sizes are welcome and may be dropped off at one of the following area locations:
- Heritage Elementary School, 3500 Rogers Road
- Heritage Middle School, 3400 Rogers Road
- Heritage High School, 1150 Forestville Road
- Rolesville Middle School, 4700 Burlington Mills Road, Rolesville
- Rolesville High School, 1099 E. Young St., Rolesville
- Wake Forest Elementary School, 136 W. Sycamore Ave.
- Wake Forest High School, 420 Stadium Dr.
- Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St.
The Youth Advisory Board’s coat drive is an easy way for area residents to pass along coats and jackets they no longer need. All donated coats will be given to the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club for distribution to local people in need.
The Youth in Government Advisory Board was established to provide Wake Forest’s youth with an active role in addressing community issues and to serve as a voice for young people in all facets of the community. The board researches issues and makes presentations to the board of commissioners and sponsors informational events for area youth.
For more information about this year’s coat drive, contact Youth Advisory Board Advisor Edward Austin at 919-435-9562 or eaustin@wakeforestnc.gov.
