As the seasons change and chilly weather settles in, many families across the Spokane area face a real challenge—making sure their children have the warmth they need during the winter months. For some, the cost of a new winter coat is more than their budget can handle.

That's where the KXLY 4 News Now Coats 4 Kids campaign comes in. For over 40 years, this community-driven effort has been bringing warmth, comfort, and smiles to local children. With winter just around the corner, the initiative is once again underway, continuing Spokane's proud tradition of care and generosity. Together, we can ensure every child has a warm coat this season.

 

How You Can Get Involved

  • Donate a Coat: Clear out your closets and pass along gently used coats your kids may have outgrown. For a child in need, your gift can make all the difference.
  • Spread the Word: Tell your family, friends, and coworkers about Coats 4 Kids. The more people involved, the greater the impact.
  • Volunteer Your Time: Help with collection or distribution events—your energy and support keep this effort strong.
  • Give Financially: If you're short on time, consider making a monetary donation. Funds go directly toward purchasing coats and winter essentials for children in need.

 

Where To Donate

Donations of new or gently used coats (all sizes welcome) can be dropped off at any of our three Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Spokane offices, along with other participating collection sites across the area. All coats collected are cleaned at ALSCO (1923 N Waterworks, Spokane, WA) before being distributed. Best of all, coats stay right here in the communities where they're donated.

If you don't have a coat to give, monetary donations can be made online at kxly.com on the Coats 4 Kids webpage, which also includes a full list of donation box locations.

 

Thank You to Our Partners

This effort wouldn't be possible without the support of our amazing partners, volunteers, and local businesses who give their time, resources, and heart to this mission. To all who have supported Coats 4 Kids over the years—thank you for helping carry forward Spokane's legacy of kindness.

 

Let's Keep Spokane Warm

Coats 4 Kids is more than a seasonal drive—it's a reminder of what happens when a community comes together. As the temperatures drop, we have the chance to ensure no child faces winter without warmth. By donating, volunteering, or simply sharing the word, you're not just giving a coat—you're giving comfort, hope, and proof that compassion thrives in Spokane.
