HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The Salvation Army extends its heartfelt gratitude to Reno County following a successful Coats for Kids & Adults distribution held on Friday, November 6, and Saturday, November 7.
Well over 350 coats were distributed to local families thanks to the generosity and support of community members and local partners. Hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets were also made available to help individuals and families prepare for the winter season.
The Salvation Army was running short on children’s coats this year, but once the need was shared with the community, residents responded with overwhelming generosity.
“We are so thankful for INeeda Cleaners and all of our community members who helped make it possible,” said Major Paul James of The Salvation Army. “Their generosity helps ensure that children and adults in our community stay warm during the winter months.”
The Salvation Army still has coats available for individuals and families who were unable to attend the distribution event. Coats will continue to be distributed during regular office hours through Friday, November 13, at 3:00 p.m.
Anyone needing a coat is asked to call ahead so staff can prepare and best serve them. To receive a coat, please call 620-663-3353.
The Salvation Army appreciates the continued support of volunteers, donors, and community partners whose commitment makes programs like this possible and helps meet critical needs throughout the year. The success of this year's coat distribution demonstrates the compassion and generosity that make Reno County a stronger community for all.
