Coats for Kids
Good used coats are provided for students who participated in the August Kids project. They are collected throughout the year and cleaned by Cooks Clean Center during July (Thank you, Cooks Clean Center!) and distributed in the fall.
If you have outgrown coats (especially ones suitable for school-age children or teens), we'd love to have them for our kids. Please drop them at the Clothing Bank.
