Warmth for Every Child
Susie’s Coats for Kids provides free, warm coats and winter apparel each winter through our big community distribution day and Coat Closets located in schools and partner agencies across Northwest Ohio. Every item is given with care—no paperwork, no questions—just warmth for every child in need.
We are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of children.
We provide free, warm apparel during the winter months for children in grades K-8 in need and 100% of all financial donations are used for the purchase of new coats, hats, and gloves.
When something as simple as a winter coat is out of their reach…
To date, Susie’s Coats for Kids has collected and distributed over 225,000 warm apparel items thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and the community of Northwest Ohio.
“Having experienced homelessness as a child gives me the unique perspective of knowing how an impoverished child lives; the results of which can be devastating. ”
