Coats for Kids 2023

Join the many councils throughout the State of Michigan in our mission to provide warmth for deserving children during the cold Michigan winter months. Every council in the state is invited to participate in any way that they can in the Coats for Kids program. There are many ways your council can participate:

The council may make a direct donation to the State Council to assist with purchasing coats for one of the State distribution centers. Information on how to do this is below.
A council may hold their own coat drive, collecting new coats from local businesses and distributing them in your local area.
A council may participate in the Supreme program by purchasing coats through the Supreme supplier and distributing them locally.
Finally, the Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) option from Supreme is once again available from Supreme to the State Council.

The BOGO order must be submitted by the State Council.
As a Council (or District) determine where you want to distribute the coats in your area. As always, work with the pastor of any parish in the distribution of the coats.
After your fundraising efforts are complete, determine the number of cases of coats by type (see www.knightsgear.com) that you wish to order.
There is an order form posted on the State website that must be completed and sent in.
It is critical to have contact information provided on the order form. Additionally, the full name and address of the shipping information must be supplied on the form.
Follow the directions on the form when submitting your funds. Checks must be made payable to ‘Michigan State Council’ and put ‘Coats for Kids’ on the memo line.
Checks are to be sent to either your SDRR for tracking locally (please verify this with your SDRR) or myself. My address is on the form.
Once the form and payment are received, you will receive acknowledgement back from me. Any shipping information will be communicated at that time.
If your order is for 10 cases, it will be filled with 20 cases. So please plan accordingly.
