Frequently asked questions
What is Coats for Kids?
Coats for Kids was started in 1981 by local radio station employees, when they realized that a large number of children were missing school in the winter because they did not have warm coats. That November, Coats for Kids Cleveland was founded and the radio station began soliciting donations of like-new, gently worn coats and cash donatioins to purchase new coats. Since that initial campaign, more than $3 million has been raised and over 400,000 new or like-new coats have been distributed to children in need throughout northeast Ohio.
How Does My Family Qualify To Receive A Coat(s)?
To determine eligibility for assistance, contact your local Salvation Army. When is the Campaign?
The 2011 campaign officially began on Tuesday, November 1 and continues through the end of December. Collections bins are located in area malls (Parmatown, Great Northern, South Park, Midway, Great Lakes, Richmond Town Square, and Legacy Village) in northeast Ohio Howard Hanna office locations, in area BJs locations, and at all 14 dealerships on the Bedford Automile. Goals for the 2011 Campaign
This is the 30th anniversary of Coats for Kids. We hope to collect 35,000 coats and raise $125,000 in the 2011 campaign. All coats collected and funds raised benefit children living in Northeast Ohio. Volunteer
