Warm Hearts in Bristol: King University Launches Coats for Kids Drive

Hey there, Bristol! As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, there’s a heartwarming initiative that every community member can get involved in. King University is gearing up for its annual coat drive, Coats for Kids, which aims to keep our little ones warm as temperatures drop.

It’s All About Keeping Kids Warm

As we all know too well, winter can be unforgiving. When the temperatures dip, children need to bundle up to enjoy their outdoor playtime safely. That’s where this coat drive comes in! University officials are excited about promoting this event, emphasizing that it’s more than just collecting coats; it’s about ensuring that every child in our community has the means to stay warm while playing outside during the colder months.

How You Can Help

Community participation is key. If you have a new or slightly used coat that you can part with, bring it on over! There are two convenient locations where you can drop off your donations:

  • King University’s Campus
  • One Hour Cleaner on Volunteer Parkway

Whether it’s a warm winter jacket or a cozy parka, every little bit helps. The more coats we gather, the more children we can help keep warm.

Mark Your Calendars!

Now, here’s something to pencil into your calendar: the distribution day for the coats will be on November 2nd, from 10 AM to 2 PM. The venue for this special day will be Maclellan Hall on the King campus.

On this day, families can come by to pick up the coats for their kids, ensuring that no child has to brave the winter chill without proper clothing. It’s a fantastic opportunity for families in need to access warm coats without any cost!

A Community Effort

It’s inspiring to see the community come together for such a noble cause. King University’s Coats for Kids drive is a wonderful reminder of how we can all pitch in to support one another. Each coat donated not only helps to warm a child but also brings us all closer as a community.

Let’s rally together, Bristol! If you’re spring cleaning your closet or simply have a coat that no longer fits, please consider donating it for this great cause. Remember, it may seem like a small gesture, but it can make a big difference in a child’s life. Warm coats can lead to warm smiles!

Spread the Word!

To ensure that the word gets out and as many kids as possible benefit from this awesome drive, share this information widely. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about Coats for Kids. Let’s make this year the best one yet in terms of community participation and support!

By banding together, we can ensure that this winter, no child in our town has to feel the bite of the cold alone. After all, Bristol isn’t just a place on the map; it’s a community filled with caring and compassionate individuals ready to lend a hand. Keep those coats coming, and let’s make a difference together!
