Randolph Community College Faculty Association Collects 241 Coats for Charity

The Faculty Association at Randolph Community College just completed a Give a Kid a Coat campaign drive on the Asheboro Campus. The faculty members collected 241 gently used or new coats to donate to the campaign drive held annually by A Cleaner World, Fox8/WGHP, 107.5KZL, and The Salvation Army.

Dahlia Oldham, an RCC student who helped with the campaign, collected over 70 coats from family and friends. "I never gave (our coats) away before," said Oldham of her family's coats, which numbered about 20. She even gave up one of her own favorite coats. "I told my husband that someone else could wear it," she said. "My heart is really full."

RCC faculty members Carra Miskovich and Maria LeBaron delivered the coats to A Cleaner World on Dec. 2. "Carra and Maria were really the driving force behind this project," said Jennifer Macy, president of the RCC Faculty Association. "I would like to thank everyone who donated coats to this campaign, which will make difference in our community this winter."
