The 14th annual Coats for Kids campaign has officially kicked off, presenting an incredible opportunity for you to play a vital role in the lives of children. This longstanding tradition is now enhanced with a new sponsor, the Arkansas Surgical Hospital, bringing fresh energy and a renewed focus. By donating a new or gently worn coat during the period from Saturday, Dec. 7 to Saturday, Jan. 11, you can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

Join the Coats for Kids Campaign and Warm Hearts

New Sponsor - Arkansas Surgical Hospital

This year, the addition of the Arkansas Surgical Hospital as a sponsor has brought about a transformation to our well-established campaign. Their support not only adds financial resources but also brings a sense of credibility and community involvement. With their partnership, we are confident that we can collect even more coats and extend our reach to more children in need.

The Arkansas Surgical Hospital's commitment to this cause is truly inspiring. Their presence has motivated our viewers to get involved and contribute to the well-being of others. By working together, we can create a warmer and more caring community for all.

Laundering Requirement

One of the notable changes this year is the request for viewers to launder the coats before donating them. This simple act shows our respect for the recipients and ensures that the coats are clean and in good condition. It also helps to prevent the spread of germs and diseases, providing a healthier environment for those in need.

By emphasizing the importance of laundering, we are teaching our viewers the value of taking care of others and the small actions that can make a big difference. It's not just about donating a coat; it's about making a positive impact on someone's life.

All Sizes Needed - Child and Adult

The Coats for Kids campaign is not limited to a specific size; both child and adult coats are in great demand. Whether it's a warm winter coat for a little one or a practical jacket for an adult, every donation counts. Our House homeless shelter, which offers a range of programs including housing, career center, early child development, and after-school programs, will distribute the coats to those in need.

By accepting all sizes, we are able to provide warmth and support to families and individuals of all ages. No one should be left without a coat during the cold winter months, and our campaign aims to ensure that everyone has access to this essential item.
