AMT Joins Club to Support PCHS Dragon's Closet

 

The Kiwanis Club of Pekin recently completed a collection drive to help restock the Dragon's Closet at PCHS. The Closet serves as an "as-needed" pantry for PCHS students and includes food, clothing and personal items. 

In addition to a car full of donations, the club also made a large financial contribution to the Dragon's Closet. Advanced Medical Transport also made a large financial contribution. 

Pictured are club members Danielle Bernier and Sheila Coussens-Martin with the donated supplies. Also pictured are club members Sheila Coussen-Martin and Sherry Semonis accepting the check from Advanced Medical Transport's Josh Bradshaw.
