THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT. THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL OCTOBER 2024.
For over 30 years, the VOCM Cares Coats for Kids Campaign has helped keep thousands of families warm during the Winter season. As the cold weather approaches, you can help be there for those in need by donating gently used or new winter wear from October 2 – October 23, 2023.
Winter items including coats, hats, mittens, and boots for both youth and adults are greatly appreciated. Please no broken zippers, soiled, or torn items, or out-of-season clothing. This is important for the safety and strength of the program.
