At United Way of Windham County, we are proud of the difference we make in the lives of our community's elementary school-aged kids through our Kids in Coats program. Each year, we ensure that local school children have the warmth and protection they need to thrive during Vermont’s harsh winters. This program provides brand-new, winter-appropriate coats and outerwear to kids in all of Windham County Supervisory Unions.
But, today, we face a critical challenge. Without additional support, Kids in Coats will not be able to continue serving all the children in need. Our fundraising has not kept pace with the growing demand, and we’re running out of time to secure the resources needed to provide coats to every child who needs one. The colder months are fast approaching, and we are committed to making sure no child in our community is left out in the cold. But we need your help to do it!
You can help by donating today (every dollar contributed goes directly to providing more coats for children in need) or by sharing our message. Your support is more critical now than ever. Without it, Kids in Coats will falter this year, and many children will go without the basic warmth they need to stay healthy and thrive. We cannot let that happen. Together, we can ensure that all Windham County’s elementary-aged children are ready to face the winter with warmth, confidence, and security.
Thank you for standing with us—and for the children who depend on us.
