From Bishop McCort Catholic High School
Bishop McCort Catholic High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes facilitated a winter coat drive the week of October 14-18.
Students throughout the Bishop McCort Catholic Academy donated new or lightly used coats, hats and gloves.
All of the items collected are donated to New Day Inc. for distribution throughout the Greater Johnstown community.
Chris Valente, Executive Director for New Day was at Bishop McCort on Thursday, October 24, to collect the donated items and meet the athletes involved in this service project.
Steve Cotchen, moderator of Bishop McCort’s FCA club said, “This project gave our student athletes the opportunity to work together to help those in need while serving the Johnstown community.”
Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful platform of sport to lead every coach and every athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.
FCA focuses on serving local communities around the globe by engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and athletes to unite, inspire and change the world through the gospel
