10 Year-Old Amy Donates 500 Coats And Jackets
December 23rd, 2010by Shaun Osburn
| One of our youngest and biggest clothing donors of the season came through to our 23rd Annual Curbside Donation Drive this afternoon with a moving truck filled with 500 coats.
Amy, a 10 year-old girl from Redwood City, asked her school to participate in a drive for the homeless in San Francisco. When administrators of the school told her they we’re too busy to help Amy took it upon herself to put cardboard bins in CVS stores throughout the Bay Area with handwritten notes to customers asking to donate. With her family’s help Amy collected all the donations and brought them to St. Anthony’s. Thanks, Amy! We’re so grateful for your service that will keep 500 of our poor and homeless neighbors warm this winter! |

The blessings and generosity of people is simply amazing. Amy, you made me get out of my pessimism. Cheers to you, your family and your classmates.

Go Amy! What a great effort on your part, and the part of your classmates and family. Your generosity did not go unnoticed.

what an amazing accomplishment for you, your family and all the people who responded! while the recipients of the coats and jackets will be the immediate beneficiaries of your coat drive, the school administrators who could not find time to help you obviously learned a lesson.
