Coats for Kids

Let’s make sure no kids are cold this winter!

Purchase Coats

Let's provide warmth for children in need during the cold winter months! As part of a nationwide initiative by the Knights of Columbus, the Coats for Kids program has a goal to ensure that no child in North America goes without a coat during the winter season.

Coat Drive

November 1-24, 2025

Why it matters:

  • Even one warm coat can make a huge difference: it helps a child go to school, participate in after school programs, and feel included among peers.

  • Our council is proud to be part of this national effort — since 2009 the Coats for Kids program has provided over one million coats across North America.

  • Locally, your donation will go directly to children in our area who might otherwise go without.

How you can help:

  1. Donate — Every dollar helps. You can help us in this worthy cause by purchasing a brand-new coat for $24/$28 (child/teen) each. If you would like to sponsor a case of coats, the cost is $283 for children or $340 for teens. A half-case is $140 (child) and $170 (teen).

  2. Spread the word — Share this message with friends, family, and parishioners. The more awareness, the greater the impact.

Key details:

  • Campaign runs from Nov. 1st to Nov 24th.

  • Donations should be sent/checks made payable to St. Maximilian Kolbe Knights of Columbus, memo line: Coats for Kids.
