Coats for Kids collection
|
|
| |
|
The Coats for Kids Foundation was established in January 2004 as a public, charitable foundation by Paul and Cheryl Darby of Alexandria, VA. with the mission “to ensure that every child who needs a winter coat receives a new one.”
Coats for Kids only distributes new winter coats; includes a pair of new gloves and a new winter hat; accepts requests for coats and delivers them all winter long—from October through the end of March.
If you have "gently used" coats, please consider dropping them in the Collection Box at the Adult Service desk.
The Athenaeum has partnered with our local Kiwanis club on this important cause. Thank you.
