Coats for Kids is an annual event held on the second Saturday in November
(NOV. 11) to provide warm coats for school age children. Participating dry cleaners collect donated new and gently used coats from the public and unclaimed coats from schools. Caps, scarves, gloves and jeans have been added to ensure that kids stay warm. You can help with the Coats for Kids program by collecting gently used coats or jeans during the year, especially small child sizes, and donating them at designated dry cleaners throughout the month of October. Thank! LCM
