Koats for Kids campaign underway in Winnipeg

Koats for Kids is now underway in Winnipeg.

Since 1989, Koats for Kids has been collecting and distributing warm winter clothing to children in our community.

Each year we collect and distribute around 6,000 coats plus thousands more ski pants, boots, hats, mitts, and scarves. Please help us ensure no child is left in the cold by donating new or gently used winter clothing.

United Way Winnipeg works directly with schools, daycares and agencies in our community to get warm winter outerwear out to children and families. If you are a parent or guardian who would like to receive warm winter clothing, please work with your child’s school, daycare, or a United Way agency partner.
