Coats will be donated to needy children

Truckloads of new winter coats that will be given to needy area children arrived at the YMCA on Knights Road Monday morning.

The delivery was part of the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation’s seventh annual program to give underprivileged kids some warmth as the weather cools. In all, the foundation, an arm of the Philly Auto Show, will distribute more than 37,000 coats in the Greater Philadelphia area.
