Coats for Kids
"For when I was naked, you clothed me."– Matthew 25:36
Each winter, thousands of children across the United States and Canada face the bitter cold without a proper coat. For many struggling families, winter clothing is simply not affordable. Parents must prioritize food, rent, and other essentials.
That’s where the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids program steps in.
Since its launch in 2009, the program has delivered warmth and dignity by providing nearly 1 million new winter coats to children in need across North America. Local councils have distributed coats through schools, parishes, shelters, and community centers, ensuring that no child goes without this necessity.
In one notable event, held during the week of Super Bowl 50, the Knights were joined by NFL Hall of Famers and community leaders to distribute coats to children in the San Francisco Bay Area—just one example of how the program unites faith, service, and community.
The Florida State Council has proudly contributed to this mission by organizing local distributions in partnership with schools and parish ministries, helping ensure that children in Florida’s underserved communities stay warm during unexpected cold snaps and winter storms.
Let us follow this call by continuing to support and grow the Coats for Kids program. With your help, we can bring warmth, hope, and Christ’s love to every child in need.
