Winter will be a little warmer for hundreds of Central Unified School District kids who received new coats and spiritwear sweaters on Wednesday.
The cold-weather gear was made possible by grants from Granville Homes and Pacific Farm Management to the Foundation for Central Schools. This is the 15th year that Granville Homes, which is donating $15,000, has supported the Coats for Kids program. The foundation also received a $5,000 grant from Pacific Farm Management.
Central Unified Superintendent Andy Alvarado said the donated clothing makes a big difference in the lives of many kids in the district.
