Hamilton County Kids Coats will hold a drive-thru coat collection from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 9 at Carmel United Methodist Church, 621 S. Range Line Road.
The majority of coats are collected from coat collections in all of the Hamilton County school corporations. With the possibility of changes to the school year and people home cleaning out their closets, Kids Coats is trying a different way of collecting coats this year. The organization has partnered with Carmel United Methodist Church to hold a drive-thru coat collection in the church’s parking lot.
Hamilton County Kids Coats distributed over 6,000 new and used coats to residents of Hamilton County in 2019. Kids Coats partnered with several churches in the area to distribute winter coats in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Arcadia and Sheridan, and lightweight coats at Merciful Help Center’s Tools for School. One of the organization’s stated goals is to make it easy for those who need a coat to receive one.
