Big O Tires’ 5th Annual “Treads for Threads” Clothing Drive is Underway

Bringing Warmth this Winter to Those Who Need It The Most

Denver, Colorado, December 7, 2010 – Many Coloradoans will not have the warm clothing needed to face our cold Colorado winters. Big O Tires and Arc Thrift Stores have teamed up to help those in need of warm winter clothing with their 5th annual “Treads For Threads” clothing drive. Now through January 16th, 2011, people can drop off clothing at any of the 34 Big O Tires Front Range locations between Loveland and Parker and from Evergreen to Aurora. Items needed include: coats, hats, mittens, socks, sweaters and pants for men, women and children. “Nobody should have to endure being cold. Big O Tires wants to help unite our communities by assisting Coloradoans in need. Please drop off unwanted clothing at your nearest Big O Tires store,” Matt Story, Big O Tires.

Big O Tires and Arc Thrift Stores will hand out all of the clothing items on Monday January 17th, 2011 through the Volunteers of America Martin Luther King Day Celebration. “I have seen the thankful smile on a mother’s face when she puts a warm coat on her child. Help us put more smiles on Coloradoan’s faces this winter,” Kathy McAdoo, Arc Thrift Stores.

Since its inception, “Treads for Threads” has provided over 35,000 pounds of donated clothing for Colorado’s less fortunate and homeless. To find a Big O Tires location near you, visit http://www.TreadsforThreads.com
