2020 Coats for Kids

We have distributed over 65,000 winter coats since 1999!

Collection Dates: November 7- 29, 2020

We need your help!

A staggering 1 in 5 children in Allen County lives in poverty, with families working to make ends meet but unable to provide basic needs for their children.

Our purpose is simple: To provide a warm winter coat to every child in need in our county.

Be a part of this great Fort Wayne tradition! Donate today!

1. Donate a new or gently used winter weight coat at any of the following locations 

  • Peerless Cleaners
  • YMCA locations in Allen, Wells and Huntington counties 
  • Sweetwater
  • Darlington Holiday Warehouse
  • Parkview Ortho Hospital
  • All Dollar General locations in Allen, Adams, Huntington, Wells & Whitley counties.  

2. Make a financial donation to help purchase new coats!

  • $25 will provide a new winter coat, hat, scarf and mittens for a child.
