SAN ANTONIO – United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County donated more than $10,000 worth of free coats to children in our community this year.
Coats of all sizes were donated to the local nonprofit during its annual Project Warmth coat drive.
In total, 915 children between the ages of newborn to 17 received new coats and winterwear for the upcoming winter season.
United Way originally called on the public to donate 700 children’s coats for their drive. Residents were able to donate coats online or in-person at various locations throughout the city. Thanks to donations, United Way surpassed their goal by over 200 coats.
If you need relief from the cold, help accessing a safe shelter or food or are experiencing any other difficulties this holiday season, call United Way’s 211 Helpline , a free social services hotline that is open 24/7/365.
