During the holidays, underserved communities often prioritize meeting their basic needs. This initiative aims to alleviate that burden, ensuring families in need can enjoy the holidays together without worry, them to celebrate and create lasting memories as a family.

Our mission is to provide every child and their parent or guardian a winter coat. We host an annual coat drive to help families stay warm the colder months. Coats are distributed to Title 1 schools to support those in need.
