Assembly's Rudy Salas in Kings County, hosts coat drive for local students

“As we head into fall and winter, it is important that our young kids have the coats they need to stay warm and healthy,” said Salas. “A winter coat can make a huge difference for our local families and their children. I would  like to thank the SoCal Gas and KCAO for making this possible and donating coats to hundreds of children throughout Kings County.”

SoCal Gas made a donation to KCAO to purchase warm winter coats to be given for free to local Kings County children.

Multiple donation events were held at the Dolores Huerta Head Start Center in Corcoran, the Home Garden Learning Center in Hanford, and the Lyndon B. Johnson Head Start in Lemoore.

“KCAO is thankful for Assemblymember Rudy Salas and Southern California Gas Company’s for the amazing coats they provided to our preschoolers,” said Jeff Garcia, executive director of KCAO. “We have been fortunate to work alongside Assemblymember Salas and Southern California Gas Company for several years on the coat giveaway project. Each year it is remarkable to see the joy of the children when they receive their new coats.”

Salas and community partners held this event in collaboration with KCAO and SoCal Gas to ensure that local students, particularly in our rural areas, have the clothing they need for the winter season. Hundreds of winter coats were given out to students who came from around the Kings County area.
