Wednesday morning, fifteen Apogee Search employees volunteered their time to Coats for Kids in Austin, TX. The annual community project, now in its 22nd year, collects and distributes coats to eligible children in Central Texas. Every year, the Junior League of Austin, Jack Brown Cleaners, KASE 101, KVUE and community volunteers come together to make this event happen. Jackets are collected for those up to age seventeen, and sizes range from size 6 ½ months up to 2XL. Donations come in from individuals, businesses and groups, and may be in the form of new coats, used coats or monetary donations.

This Saturday, December 6th, 2008 from 8:00am to 3:00pm coats will be distributed at the Palmer Events Center (900 Barton Spring Road) in Austin, TX. In preparation for the event on Saturday, Apogeeans spent their time sorting coats at the Coats for Kids center.
