Marana Group Donates Winter Hats and Coats to Homeless Shelter.

Marana Group announced today that it has donated forty-eight gently used winter coats previously worn by their route service drivers to the Center for the Homeless in South Bend, Indiana. In addition, Marana Group also donated 100 new knit caps to the Center.  Prior to making the donation, the coats were professionally cleaned by The Clothes Basket in Paw Paw, Michigan and then sent to Alfie Logo Gear in Traverse City, Michigan to be de-branded. This is the second coat donation the company has provided and brings the total number of coats donated to 88.

“You don’t have to be a native our region to understand that the need for clean, new and gently used winter clothing is at its highest during the first 3 months of the year,” said David C. Rhoa, president of Marana Group.  “It is our sincere hope that this donation will make a positive impact in the lives of our community members who are in need. We are deeply appreciative of our friends at The Clothes Basket and Alfie Logo Gear for their efforts in helping us prepare the coats for donation,” Rhoa concluded.
