My Project

Sometimes, the students fend for themselves and do not realize that some days they need more than just a sweater to stay warm. These coats will provide them with the warmth they need during outdoor recess and their walks home.

There are several families in the area that have a difficult time affording basic needs for the cold weather.

They will be able to return the coats the next day so other students will be able to utilize them. However, on an as-needed basis, the students/families may keep the coats as their own.
