Hamilton County Kids Coats is different from other coat giveaways in that they take your donated coats to the people in the towns where they live. Hamilton County Kids Coats accept new and gently-used winter coats and winter wear in all sizes, from infant to adult 5XL. Don’t have a coat? Monotary donations can also help complete this year’s inventory. Venmo @kidscoats or online at kidscoats.org
