ANN ARBOR – Charles Reinhart Company Realtors will kick-off their 20th Annual Coat Drive on November 2nd with the goal of collecting 2,000 adult and children’s coats to distribute to local agencies throughout Washtenaw County.

Through the month of November, Charles Reinhart Company Realtors will be collecting new and gently used winter coats at all of the Charles Reinhart Sales Offices as well as all Sunday Open Houses.  Sales Office addresses and Open House schedules are available at www.ReinhartRealtors.com.

Capital Cleaners and Chelsea Cleaners have graciously donated their services to professionally clean the coats before they are donated to more than 20 local agencies.

“In these difficult economic times, this is an event our agents have embraced and the local community has supported for 19 years,” said Bill Miller, General Manager of the Charles Reinhart Company Realtors.  “We are very proud to continue this endeavor for the 20th year and look forward to providing the warmth needed for those less fortunate in our communities.”

Over their 19-year history, the Charles Reinhart Company Realtors has collected more than 19,000 coats, all of which have been donated to agencies in our community.  The need for winter coats, especially for children, continues to be great.  The 20th Annual Coat Drive hopes to help fill that need in our community as the weather begins to get colder.
