AUSTIN, Texas — It’s the 35th year of the Coats for Kids drive, and there is a need for donations and volunteers to help provide 35,000 warm winter coats to Central Texas children in need.
The Coats for Kids drive is now being extended to Dec. 31. The drive started Monday, Nov. 16.
As of Dec. 23, the drive is cash-only. Drop-off coat donations are no longer being accepted.
However, if the drive gets to $50,000, Love Tito's will match the donation. You can donate online here. Every $20 buys a new coat for a child in need.
Previously collected coats will be dry-cleaned and distributed to Central Texas children in need during Distribution Week in December.
KVUE, a long-standing partner of Coats for Kids for 34 years, is joining the Junior League of Austin, Jack Brown Cleaners and iHeartRadio in the effort to ensure no child in Central Texas goes without a warm coat.
