With nearly 51% of children in our area living in economically disadvantaged households, we anticipate distributing over 11,000 winter coats as part of the 2026 Coats for Kids campaign. With the rising costs of groceries, gas, housing, and utilities, we know many families in our community are struggling to make ends meet. Your donation will provide warm coats, hats, and gloves to children in need, improving the lives of children in our communities.
