So many options…
We are fortunate to have so many great volunteers, including the exceptional students from St. Francis Prep School in Wheaton.
Elmhurst Art In The Park
Warm Coats For Cool Kids participated at Art In The Park with a Community Partners Booth. Our Key Club volunteers and our friend volunteers helped the young artists create a canvas panel for a small donation.
Today’s youth are tomorrows leaders.
Warm Coats invited the York High Key Club to volunteer with us. We would like to thank them for filling in so many time slots and making our booth so much fun.
Fun with paint and a squeegee!
So many volunteers made the cold and rain pass quickly.

Our first coat distribution event was held at the Elm Court apartments October 3, 2021. Warm Coats for Cool Kids conducted the coat distribution in conjunction with the We Pop Up organization, the Bensenville Wood Dale Rotary Club, and the Elmhurst Rotary Club. The event was a great success, 171 coats were distributed and another 82 coat orders were taken.

Our volunteers made sure the children got just the right coat.
These 4 brothers were able to find the same coat in all their sizes. There are some big smiles under those masks. Looking dapper boys!
Fundraisers were held on September 11 and 18th
The Vaccaro’s held fundraisers to benefit Warm Coats for Cool Kids. Friends, neighbors, and relatives enjoyed live music, great Mexican food from a local restaurant, conversation, and pinball at the Vaccaro pinball arcade. Thank you to our friends at Jackthemanabouttown for sponsoring the fundraisers.
