Coats for Kids and Families has two winter coat give-a-ways for the past 15 years. In 2018, they will be at Merrillville Intermediate School and River Forest Middle School. Over the 15 years we have given some 15000 coats, gloves, and scarfs to many NWI residents. We do not ask for income information and no voucher is needed. Residents just need to come to one of the sites on November November 3rd (Merrillville) and November 10th (River Forest) and one of our fine volunteers will be happy to assist you.
