The Wilmington Job Corps Center partnered with the Greater Brandywine Village Revitalization, Inc. to sponsor a community coat drive. The organization is a community-based  organization, which assists and provides an improved quality of life for community inhabitants.

The BCL invited the staff and students to participate in this event, to provide much needed coats for area residents who needed the winter attire. The center’s Community Relations Council was also invited to participate and provide donations to the BCL for dispersement, at the community’s annual “Light Up The Village Night” which will take place on December 1, 2011. This is the second year that the coat drive was sponsored. It was such a success last year, that it was strongly suggested by the residents to make this a yearly event.
