Shrader Tire & Oil Collects 200+ Coats to Support Local Charities Across Three States
Shrader Tire & Oil is proud to announce the results of our 2025 Coats for the Community drive. Thanks to the generosity of our employees, customers, and partners, STO collected over 200 coats, along with dozens of hats, gloves, and scarves across all 14 STO locations.
This year’s goal was simple: support the communities we serve by keeping donations local. Every coat collected at an STO location stayed in that community — donated directly to organizations who serve families right in our own neighborhoods.
At our 5 Toledo Area Locations, Cousino Restoration & Environmental partnered with us to professionally clean the donated coats before delivery — helping us provide warm, clean, ready-to-wear winter gear for families in need.
Charities supported across our service area included:
We’re supporting 15+ local charities across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, helping children, families, seniors, and individuals in need. Here’s a simplified breakdown by charity:
- Leading Families Home – Toledo, OH – Helping Local families in need
- Foundation for Pops’ – Detroit, MI Area – Helping local youth and families
- The Franciscan Center – Ft. Wayne, IN – Serving Families in need
- St. Margaret’s House – South Bend, IN – Helping Families and children
- Knights of Columbus – Warren, MI – Helping Homeless and low-income residents
- Compassion Ministries of Milan – Ypsilanti, MI – Aiding Local families
- St. Vincent De Paul Society of Cincinnati – West Chester, OH – Serving Families and individuals in need
- CRIS (Community Refugee & Immigration Services) – Columbus, OH – Giving aid to Refugees and immigrant families
- United Way of Licking County / The Look Up Center – Heath, OH – Helping Families and children in need
- Neighborhood Relief Services – Lima, OH – Serving Families in need
“Collecting over 200 coats across 14 locations reflects who we are as a company,” said Joe Shrader, CEO and Owner. “We’re committed to serving the communities we operate in, and this drive shows the impact we can make when we all get involved.”
Our community effort even caught local media attention. 13ABC featured the coat drive and cleaning event in a feel-good news story, which you can watch here:
