Coins for Coats
The Round Rock Area Serving Center carries out a community-wide mission serving needs in Round Rock and the surrounding areas. One of the services provided includes Coins for Coats. This is an opportunity for students to help other students obtain a coat for the winter through Keep Round Rock Warm, a coat distribution project. Last year the project raised $22,572.73. If you would like to participate there will be a bucket in the library for spare change through October 21. Checks will also be accepted. Checks can be made to RRASC: Keep RR Warm.
