It’s not just coats for kids; it’s for anyone in the community they can provide for.
On Saturday, they held their main fundraiser rummage sale at All Saints Lutheran church.

All money made through the sale goes towards buying hats, gloves, and coats to give out for free in the winter to neighbors who need warmth.
“When we started in 2011, we were super thrilled to give out 89 coats, and last year, we were over 1,400. In addition to fleece, flannel, and sweatshirts, we try to provide winter wear,” Said Lori Crooks, Organizer of Coats for Kids.
