Coats For Kids

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

October and November 2023 distribution has ended.

Coats will be distributed by appointment only starting January 1, 2024. To make an appointment, please call (414) 464-2940.

If you need a coat before then, contact your local Salvation Army Corps Community center in your zip code. You can find that list here.
