KEENAN'S
KIDS FOUNDATION
Leading
child advocate spearheads winter clothing drive - Community Review
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."
Anyone interested in donating items of clothing for Atlanta's homeless
children can contact the Foundation at (404)-523-2200 to arrange for
a pick-up.
The Keenan's Kids Foundation was formed to improve the live of children-at-risk
through direct assistance and through continuous training of law students
and lawyers to be more aware of children's needs. Don Keenan
owns and operates The Keenan Law Firm of Atlanta and is the country's
leading advocate for children's rights. His mission for the
Foundation is to make sure that the interest of children do not take
a back seat to the issues of the day and to encourage members of society
to collectively strike to make a difference in the life of a child.
