Coats for Kids

Coats are provided to children and adults during a one-day distribution event in the fall where they can "shop" for themselves and their family before the weather gets cold.

Keep Our Neighbors Warm

Does your church, organization or family want to Help Our Neighbors in Need stay warm this winter? Over 350 individuals receive coats, heaters or blankets each year through this program. 

You can help! Please deliver donated items to the Needs Council by October 31st so staff and volunteers can organize/order prior to our upcoming one-day distribution event. Unfortunately, due to limited space, we are unable to accept coats until after Labor Day weekend.

2022 Coat Distribution Event

Our Services

Crisis Assistance

Assistance is provided for housing, utilities, child care, medications, emergency medical procedures, dental, hearing and vision expenses.

Counseling & Domestic violence support

Victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse receive critical counseling by licensed professionals. As they get their lives back on track, clients are also provided budgeting, goal-setting and financial planning assistance.

Senior Services

Needs Council volunteers provide “friendly support” to homebound seniors and rides to medical appointments since many have no family nearby. Community members adopt and provide gifts to these seniors and disabled adults at Christmas.

Child & Family Services

Children and their families are provided assistance with coats, school supplies, food, childcare, scholarships, parenting classes and Christmas assistance with the help of many community volunteers.
