brought candy canes and stayed for photos with each of the kids.\u00a0\u00a0 Brian Driggs of Purl\u2019s Sheet Metal &amp; Air Conditioning took a moment to thank the kids for their part in bringing in 524 coats.\u00a0\u00a0 All of the coats collected stayed in Madera County and were distributed by our local\u00a0 Salvation Army Office.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Driggs also talked about the importance of helping others in our community and how we can all make a difference. \u00a0During the party he also announced that\u00a0all of the coats collected had already been given to kids in need.<\/p>\n<p>At St. Joachim School, Santa had a couple of minutes to visit the kindergarten class, who brought in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> most coats.\u00a0\u00a0 Santa thanked them for helping other kids who needed warm coats.\u00a0 The kindergarteners were thrilled to see Santa!\u00a0\u00a0 What a great way to celebrate successful Coats for Kids drive in Madera.<\/p>\n<p>We hope everyone had a
