It might not feel like it right now, but the cold weather and snow will be here before we know it! With that in mind, Riverbend Head Start and Family Services is collecting coats, hats and gloves during our 17th Annual Coats for Kids Collection Drive. It’s going on now through Friday, November 29th.

 

Last year, the drive raised more than $9K and distributed 400+ new coats along with other outerwear items. Without community support, this wouldn’t have been possible.

 

This year, we’re asking for your help in supporting our coat drive. The funds raised will be used to purchase coats in the specific sizes that are needed.

 

Donations that remain after coats are purchased and distributed will be used to fund other program service needs, such as our new mom’s baskets, new reading books for our literacy program, backpacks filled with school supplies for students heading to kindergarten, and other items promoting healthy habits.

 

If interested in making an unrestricted monetary donation to assist with our collection drive, please visit our home page and click on the red DONATE button. From there, scroll down and select Coats for Kids.

 

Please call us at (618) 463-5946 with any questions or to arrange a day/time to make a donation. We thank you in advance for your anticipated partnership and support of our coat drive.
