Care for Kids Coat Drive 2025

September 25 – December 4, 2025

Care for Kids is once again partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo and Susie’s Coats for Kids to bring warmth, comfort, and hope to local children in need across Lucas, Fulton, and Henry counties.

This annual effort helps ensure children throughout our region have the essentials they need to stay warm this winter—and we invite you to be part of this heartwarming mission.

How You Can Contribute:

  1. Donate a Coat – We are accepting new, gender-neutral coats in children’s size 7/8 through adult large. Please check our guidelines to ensure your donation meets the requirements.
  2. Make a Cash Donation – Prefer to give financially? Your gift of $1,000 will go directly toward purchasing high-quality coats for local children. 100% of all cash donations are used to buy coats.
  3. Order Online – You can shop from home using our Amazon Wish List, or purchase from a retailer like Costco and have items shipped directly to:
    Designetics – 1624 S Eber Rd., Holland, OH 43528
  4. Spread the Word – Help us grow our impact by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and coworkers. Post on social media, include it in a company newsletter, or talk to your employer about launching a team initiative or matching donations.

Let’s come together as a community to wrap our children in warmth this winter—one coat at a time. For more updates and to show your support, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
