Brian Harrell, VP of A Cleaner World said, “To kick off our campaign with over 1,500 jackets donated is a true testament to the support of our community.”
We would also like to thank AAA Storage, the North Carolina RV Dealers Association Show, and Go Green Plumbing who are media sponsors for the 2023 campaign.
