Coats For Kids

4,000 coats were distributed to Milwaukee area children and adults in October 2024.

About

The Salvation Army's Coats for Kids program provides coats and winter accessories to children in Milwaukee. All winter coats are donated and collected in collaboration with FOX6 News.

Coats are picked up at various drop-off sites throughout the city and are delivered to The Salvation Army where they are sorted by community volunteers and made ready for cleaning through the donated services of ITU.

Registration/Distribution

Our first coat distribution was in October.

Each corps will have coats available after November 1 at each location. Contact your local Salvation Army Corps Community center in your zip code. You can find that list here.

Fox 6 Collection

You can drop off any new or gently-used winter coat at Steinhafels, Feldco or Salvation Army now through Dec. 1.

What to donate

We accept monetary donations or in-kind donations following items:

  • New or gently used coats, both children and adult sizes
  • New hats, mittens and scarves can be given along with your coat donations
  • Make a monetary donation online.
