Cayla’s Coats Inc. is a local nonprofit organization that provides coats and blankets for local Citrus County children. Cayla’s Coats was started in the memory of Cayla Barnes, who drowned at the age of 1 year, in Homosassa. The mission of Cayla’s Coats is to help educate parents on drowning prevention. Cayla’s Coats provides scholarships for swimming lessons, in their efforts to prevent childhood drownings.
This year’s Coat Collection Drive will run from September 15th through October 18th, and StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto is proud to be a part of it! All coats that are collected are tagged and delivered to elementary, middle and high schools within Citrus County. Last year more than 1000 coats were donated to local students. This year, Cayla’s Coats is partnering with Nature Coast EMS to collect blankets, to donate to Citrus County’s elderly population.
Coats and blankets may be dropped off at StoreRight Self Storage, 1227 South Lecanto Highway, Lecanto, FL 34461 during business hours. Other drop off locations throughout Citrus County include: all the Winn-Dixie stores, Crystal Dodge in Inverness, Crystal Nissan in Crystal River, LKQ in Crystal River, the Old Mill Tavern in Homosassa, and Bookaneers Used Bookstore in Beverly Hills.
