The Knight of Columbus has a coats for kids program where councils can buy boxes of kids coats for distribution. This plan however is focus on young children’s sizes. In Canada most young children have warm clothing or can easily obtain it from social services. Here it is the teens and young adults that struggle with obtaining the warm clothes they need.

So our council started an annual Coats for Kids drive to ask parishioners to donate gently used outer wear for local youth.

This year we collected 74 winter coats and numerous bags of warm tops, pull overs and sweaters.

In addition we collected numerous mitts, scarves and winter head wear.

We also collected winter boots.

These items were distributed to Youth for Christ 'Door" drop in center, Choices Youth Shelter and the John Howard Society.

As itemized below.

Choices: 9 men's coats, 22 women's coats, 4 women's winter boots, 5 men's winter boots, scarves, hats, mitts, sweaters and warm tops.

Youth for Christ 'Door': Sweaters five large bags, gloves one large bag, scarves one large bag, 4 women's winter boots four men's winter boots, bag of 13 women's coats, bag of 15 women's coats, warm tops.

John Howard Society: 5 men’s coats, 10 women's coats, sweaters, tops, scarves, hats, mitts, box of children's mitts.

Thanks to all who donated clothing, and thank to Br. Kyle Kellie for helping me deliver winter clothing to the John Howard Society.
