On Saturday, November 23, starting at 9 a.m., the William Floyd United Teachers (WFUT) will host their second annual 1,000 Coat Giveaway. The event will take place in the west gymnasium of William Floyd High School. This initiative aims to assist families as temperatures drop and holiday celebrations commence.

The event features a distribution of 1,000 coats, thanks to contributions from Helpsy, East End Screen Printing, and William Floyd teachers. Attendees can also choose from a variety of winter gloves and scarves. Additionally, WFUT will distribute 300 frozen turkeys along with Thanksgiving sides to help families enjoy a complete holiday meal.

A special "Santa’s Corner" will be set up during the event, featuring music by William Floyd students. Children can select books, toys, and festive ornaments made by carpentry students from William Floyd High School's CTE program.

The giveaway is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or until supplies last. WFUT acknowledges community partners who made this event possible: Helpsy; PJ Balzer; Kevin Donovan and Mutual Inc.; AFT’s “Reading Opens the World” initiative; East End Screen Printing; Mitev Law Firm; AFLAC; Katherine Martin and Cetera Investors; Feldman/Kramer/Monaco PC.; TJ’s Hero Shop; Lenny Bruno Farms; Jim Scheidel and VOYA Financial; along with William Floyd teachers and students.
