Coats for Kids
Our annual Coats for Kids program provides over 2,000 warm coats to local children in need. This seasonal assistance is made possible through the generosity of the Greater Green Bay community. Contributions from individuals, churches, businesses, and foundations allow us to support families and children during the colder months. The Salvation Army is grateful to our partners and volunteers whose dedication makes registration and distribution of these programs possible.
