Coat Drive

Coat Drive Home | Promotional Toolkit | Media | Thank you

For Eastern Kentucky School Districts Impacted by the Floods
October 1 to December 16

Please join the KASA board of directors in providing new winter coats, hoodies, gloves and hats for our school families impacted by the devastating floods in eastern Kentucky. The road to recovery is a long one, but the immediate and dire needs continue to evolve.

This coat drive addresses immediate needs while ensuring existing resources be directed to food, shelter, and the upcoming holidays.

We are seeking new coats for preschool/elementary students and staff members, gloves and hats for everyone, and hoodies for middle and high school students. New items and/or cash contributions are welcome and much needed. Your contribution is tax deductible.

Coats will be delivered in early December when the school community is ready to receive them. This coat drive will help thousands of our students and staff. So, please give generously.

Rhonda Caldwell, CAE, Ed.D.
KASA Executive Director
