Coats for Kids

We’re about half way there, but we need your help! The coat count is in and we’ve collected about 2,500 coats for Indy’s kids in need. That’s a great start, but far from the total we’ll need to meet the growing need. Last year, we distributed about 4,000 coats to families at Distribution Day.

There are several ways you can still help.

  • If you’re a parent, please check your closets at home for gently used coats that your kids no longer need. And please encourage your friends and family to do the same. You can drop off coat donations at any Tuchman Cleaners through Monday night.
  • Make a donation on-line here. We’re partnering with Burlington Coat Factory again this year to shop for coats during special discounted hours.
  • Bring a coat or a monetary donation to Sunday’s Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Volunteers and staff from WTHR-13 and The Salvation Army will be collecting outside the stadium.
  • Volunteer to set-up for Coats for Kids by calling Elizabeth at 224-1010. It takes an organized team to distribute thousands of coats.

Hoosiers have never let their neighbors in need down. We’re counting on our community to come out in full force to make sure that no kid goes without a coat this winter. Thanks for your help!
