The Ochocinco Soldiers for Giving of Cincinnati and Dayton embarked on a two-week campaign Friday to make winter a little warmer with Coats For Kids. The Soldiers are deploying to all Widmer's and Springdale Cleaners locations throughout the Greater Cincinnati area to collect new and "gently used" coats to benefit Lighthouse Youth Services.
Collection points are at all Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Widmer's, as well as the Springdale Cleaners in Bond Hill, Hyde Park, Monfort Heights, Tri-County and Western Hills. Collections end Oct. 31.
Lighthouse Youth Services, which relies solely on community support, provides basic necessities for teenagers living in foster care, group homes, and older youth living independently in supervised apartments.
