Warming It Up At Chicot Primary School

Transport Workers Union Local 555 which represents Southwest Airlines Ramp, Operations and Freight Agents at the Little Rock Airport held a coat drive to benefit kids at Chicot Primary School and will be making a presentation to the school.

According to Ed Green, the drive's coordinator, "This project was our way of giving a little to the community in thanks for supporting TWU Local 555 members by flying Southwest Airlines."

Mant of the donations came from the Central Arkansas Labor Council, Central Arkansas Construction and Building Trades and UA Local 669, as well as discounts from Kohl's and Burlington Coat Factory.

TWU members were able to collect more than 65 coats. Gloves and hats were also donated to help kids stay warm and toasty this winter.

The presentation will take place Tuesday at Chicot Primary at 9:30 a.m.
