COMMUNITY REVIEW | Leading child advocate spearheads winter clothing drive
According to Atlanta's Homeless Task Force, there will be over 20,000 homeless children on the streets of Atlanta this winter with no warm clothing or shelter. Atlanta plaintiff attorney Don Keenan, owner of The Keenan Law Firm, is committed to making the needs of these underprivileged children a top priority throughout the Atlanta community.
| Through his "Keenan's Kids Foundation," Don Keenan has challenged local law firms to donate thousands of pieces of clothing to keep Atlanta's children warm this winter. The Foundation has set up a pick-up and delivery system and has mailed a request for donations of all kinds to more that 14,000 lawyers in the metro area. So far more than 1,000 pieces of clothing, including coats, leggings, jackets and gloves have been donated. |  |
"More children currently live in poverty in the metro area than at any other time in our history." said Keenan. "There kids who have no voice deserve our help. I personally challenge other professionals in Atlanta to chip-in and help keep our kids warm this winter. One sweater-shirt can make a world of difference to a child that has nothing but a t-shirt."
