coatCAU members have received new winter coats to help keep them warm and comfortable this season thanks to a generous donation from Delivering Good.

CAU received 300 coats from the organization, which first reached out to CAU with an interest in supporting our youth programs. Delivering Good was able to supply enough win

people affected by poverty and tragedy, according to their website.

“I have it on right now, it’s a good fit and a very warm, good quality coat,” said member Chantel Bell, who said she was in need of a new coat this season. “I want to give a thank you for it!”

Programs picked up their jackets recently, just in time for the cold winter weather.coat
