Tuesday, 9 January: Koats for Kids Winter Clothing Drive

The Maroon and White society is excited to announce that on Tuesday, January 9th, we will be hosting a winter clothing drive for the United Way Koats for Kids Foundation. Koats for Kids distributes winter clothing to children in need across Winnipeg. On Tuesday, between 8:00–8:30 AM students who donate a minimum of two dollars or new or slightly used children’s winter clothing (such as jackets, toques, scarves, gloves, and boots) will receive a free dress code sticker. Donations made after 8:30 AM should be brought to the reception desk. 

All proceeds collected from the free dress code will be used to buy winter clothing for kids, which will then be donated along with the clothing to the United Way Koats for Kids Foundation. Thank you for helping children in our community stay warm this winter season.
