Coats for Kids online voting date changed

Online voting has been switched to June 3 for the Kalispell-based Coats for Kids program.

Coats for Kids previously was scheduled to be up for consideration three days later.

Coats for Kids is one of 500 nonprofit finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program.

The automaker is giving 100 cars to 100 nonprofits over the course of 100 days. Coats for Kids was selected as a finalist from more than 4,000 applications nationwide. 

Each day, 100 Cars for Good will profile five finalists at www.100carsforgood.com. Members of the public will be able to vote for the nonprofit they think can do the most good with a new vehicle. The nonprofit with the most votes at the end of each day will win one of six Toyota models.  

Runners-up will receive $1,000 cash grants from Toyota. 

Voting on June 3 starts at 8 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m.

Flathead Valley residents are encouraged to support Coats for Kids and its quest for a new Toyota. If Coats for Kids receives the most votes and is awarded the vehicle, it will be used to deliver winter outerwear to those who have no transportation or have trouble getting in to town to pick it up.
