THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT DURING THE 2023 CAMPAIGN.
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 September 30 – October 25, 2024.
Winter items including coats, hats, mittens, and boots for children, 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.
