The purpose of Coats for Kids is to provide winter coats for every child across the country. This organization provides children in America with brand new coats throughout the fall and winter months. They also deliver a new pair of gloves and a hat to each child when they are available.
Giving a child a brand new coat instead of a used one directly impacts the child’s self-esteem, which can positively affect their ability to learn, and their participation in school. Coats for Kids partners directly with schools to provide less fortunate students with brand new winter coats, gloves, and sometimes hats within the fall and winter. This organization respects students privacy, so the coat will be delivered to the student privately without drawing any attention to the child.
Teachers can partner directly with Coats for Kids. Teachers can donate new coats, or can find coats for students in need through Coats for Kids.
