As the leaves change color and the air grows colder, the excitement of the holiday season begins to fill the air. While for many, this time of year is associated with joy and celebration, for some families, it can be a challenging period as they struggle to provide the basics, like warm winter coats, for their children. In the spirit of giving, the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids program emerges as a beacon of hope, ensuring that no child goes cold during the winter months.


Today, more than ever, there are children going without. Think of the difference it would make in their lives if they had a warm coat to confront the rigors of our cold climate. A warm coat means a child can more realistically attend school, go to after-school programs, fit in with other children, play and do all the things that kids do to be kids. In a very real sense, a warm winter coat means mobility. Coats for Kids helps to make this seemingly small part of life a little bit easier for these families.


The Coats for Kids program is a shining example of our commitment to charity and service. Launched in 2009, this initiative aims to provide winter coats to children in need, ensuring that they stay warm throughout the colder months. Over a million new winter coats have been distributed throughout Canada and the United States since the program began.


As we embrace the holiday season, let us remember the Knights of Columbus and their remarkable Coats for Kids program, a true embodiment of the spirit of giving and community. By supporting initiatives like these, we can warm not only bodies but also hearts, ensuring that every child experiences the joy of a warm winter coat and the love of a caring community.


Coats for Kids in Milton are Donated by the Holy Rosary Knights of Columbus ans distributed by the Salvation Army.
