Coats for Kids Drive started

Snowman

The Children’s Winter Coat Drive, running from Jan. 27–30, aims to collect new coats for distribution at Lincoln Park Elementary School on Friday, Jan. 31.

  • The organizers include State Rep. Michelle Salzman, Jubilee Church, Jennifer Harrison, and Splash City Adventures. The shared mission is to ensure no child goes without proper winter clothing during the cold season.

Rep. Salzman emphasized the drive’s importance, stating, “No child should have to face the cold without a warm coat. This winter coat drive is about coming together as a community to ensure every child stays warm and cared for during the colder months.”

Pastor Tim Fox of Jubilee Church added his support, saying, “Jubilee Church will spread warmth this season – please help us by donating a coat and making a difference in a child’s life. Together, we can wrap our community in love and care!”
