With already frigid temperatures at nights and in the early morning hours, volunteers with the Nevada Alumni Association were in full force today on the UNR campus trying to do their part in helping those less fortunate who need extra help during the cold months.
By midday already over 100 coats had been donated.
“We’re having people walking over and some pulling over and opening up their trunk and we can be able to take their clothes and put them in the bins,” Dunlap explained.
The initiative was part of the overarching Big Reno Coat Drive with details here: http://bigrenocoatdrive.org/
People donating were being given a 25% discount in the Nevada Wolf Shop, with extra meaning this year with a strong finishing Nevada Wolf Pack football team and a highly touted basketball team.
“We’re doing our part to hopefully get as many people to come by and drop warm coats,” Dunlap said.
