Coats for Kids Logo with Sponsors

Our local community makes Coats for Kids a success every year. Without our community volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to distribute over 30,000 coats annually. 

You can host a coat drive or volunteer your time to sort, organize, and shop the thousands of winter coats donated for distribution.

We hope you can attend and that you’ll find volunteering a fulfilling experience, knowing your time is critical in achieving our goal of keeping Central Texas children warm this winter.
