A heartwarming day at Citizens Academy Southeast as Chick-fil-A, through their annual Cookies for Kids campaign, sponsored the Coats for Kids coat distribution event!

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, approximately 700 students at Citizens Academy received brand-new winter coats! Chick-fil-A’s commitment to making a difference truly warmed our hearts.

But that’s not all! Chick-fil-A went above and beyond by providing a delicious lunch for all students, staff, and dedicated event volunteers. It was a day filled with warmth, nourishment, and smiles.

As part of the Chick-fil-A area, students had the chance to express their gratitude on colorful leaves and add them to the gratitude tree on the wall. The Chick-fil-A cow even made a special appearance, creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the generosity of Chick-fil-A and the amazing community spirit that made this event possible. Remember, you can still contribute to this fantastic cause by supporting the Cookies for Kids campaign at participating northeast Ohio Chick-fil-A restaurants until the end of November.

Together, we’re making a difference, one coat and one smile at a time! #CoatsForKids#CookiesForKids#CommunityUnity#ChickfilACares
