The Salvation Army “Coats for Kids” Kicks Off 26th Season
The Salvation Army Coats for Kids kicked off their 26th season at the Salvation Army building in Cobourg on Tuesday, September 15, 2020.
Dignitaries came out including Rod Baker who originally came up with the idea for coats for kids. Baker got the support of Kim Harvey and Salvation Army Dave Alexander and the program has been a success ever since bringing in over 15,000 winter coats, mitts, and boots for children.
Donation schedule for coats and boots are from Monday, September 21, to Friday October 9.
