Annual Winter Clothing Drive Powered by Cooper begins

TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2016 /CNW/ - Cooper Equipment Rentals Limited ("Cooper") of Toronto is excited to announce that the annual Winter Clothing Drive powered by Cooper will be taking place this year from September 26 to November 18.

Every year Cooper Equipment Rentals looks for ways to give back to its communities in a meaningful way. In the past, Cooper employees participated in activities such as community tree planting, delivering meals to those in need and volunteering their time at non-profit organizations.

"Supporting local communities is a core mandate of Cooper. Every year, we look to our employees to provide suggestions on how we can help our communities to stay safe and prosperous. The Winter Clothing Drive is an initiative which all of our employees rally behind, and we are proud to support this great cause." says Cooper CEO, Darryl Cooper.

Last year, Cooper employees donated approximately 1,000 jackets, 200 snow pants and 150 winter accessories such as toques, scarves and mittens to children and families in need. This year Cooper hopes to collect more than 2,000 winter clothing items for children and families in need.

Participants interested in donating gently used winter clothing can do so by bringing them to any Cooper Equipment Rentals branch.
