Warm Coats for Cool Kids, Inc. was established by Garry and Debra Vaccaro in April 2021 as a public, charitable, nonprofit corporation. We were given 501(c)(3) tax exempt status by the IRS in August 2021. The mission of Warm Coats for Cool Kids, Inc. (Warm Coats) is to provide winter coats, hats, and gloves to children from families in need.
Warm Coats is located in Elmhurst, Illinois, and services families in the western suburbs of Chicago. Coats are distributed to children through events conducted at local schools and other community organizations. Warm Coats also accepts individual requests for coats submitted through community organizations. Coats are distributed from late September through March.
The vision of Warm Coats is to expand our service area and provide new winter coats to as many children as possible. With your generous assistance we will be able to get new winter coats to children that need them most.
