Coats for Kids
A fundraiser for United Way of Delaware (UWDE)
$1,638 raised from 26 donors
$6,250 goal
Why Warm Coats Matter:
Warm coats are essential for children's health, safety, and educational success. When kids have the appropriate outerwear, they can stay healthy and focused, ready to learn and engage in school activities regardless of the weather.
The Impact of Your Donation:
By donating, you're directly supporting programs that provide warm coats to children in need across our state. Your contribution will help us purchase and distribute coats to schools and organizations serving families facing financial hardship. With your help, we can ensure that no child has to face the cold without proper protection.
When children lack basic necessities like warm coats, they're more likely to miss school due to illness or discomfort. This can lead to academic struggles and long-term consequences for their future success. By addressing the immediate need for warm coats, we're also investing in the educational success and well-being of Delaware's children.
