Next winter might feel like it\u2019s a long way out, but the Knights of Columbus are already raising money to pull off another Coats and Clothing for Kids Campaign.<\/p>\n

The Knights\u2019 annual drive helps get needy children, not only in Summit County but across a five-county area, the warm coats and other gear they need to make it through winter, and the 2019 campaign is off to a great start thanks in part to Whole Foods Market in Frisco, said Mike Kramer, who coordinates the annual drive.<\/p>\n

The boost came in the form of a $2,263 donation. The Knights received the check last month after Whole Foods played host to a Community Giving Day to support the campaign, Kramer said.<\/p>\n

Whole Foods locations regularly host Community Giving Days to focus on giving back to local charities and groups, according to the business.<\/p>\n

The days offer Whole Foods\u2019 customers the opportunity to make a difference through their regular shopping trips by giving 5 percent of the store\u2019s net sales that day to a nonprofit organization in the community.<\/p>\n

In this case, Whole Foods in Frisco partnered with Knights of Columbus to raise money in support of the Knights\u2019 efforts to buy coats and other warm winter gear for children across the High Country whose families otherwise might not be able to afford them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re doing great things in the community,\u201d Kramer said of businesses that support not only the Knights\u2019 clothing campaign but other charitable efforts across Summit County. \u201cWhole Foods and others really make this community kick, and they deserve a lot of accolades.\u201d<\/p>\n
