My Project

We have many children without warm clothing for cold weather days. There are many reasons why children may be without warm clothing. Some children are new to our area or country. When families are displaced they often arrive with very little items. Other families may not be able to afford appropriate clothing. We want to ensure that our students are not missing school due to lack of warm clothing. We need them to arrive safely every day. We keep a care closet with emergency items but we are out of coats for our older children.

This project includes 15 new coats for our students.

These coats will be distributed right away as there is a great need.

We appreciate all donations.
