CELEBRATING 27 YEARS!
Each year the number of children without adequate winter protection increases. Now you can help!
Donate your new and gently-used coats at any of the 25 Pilgrim Cleaners throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
The Coats For Kids campaign occurs every Fall. The 2012 collection was from September 17th through October 12th. Our goal was 10,000 coats, and we collected nearly 9,000!
Help us thank this year’s sponsors: KARE 11, The Minnesota Sun Newspaper, Subway Restaurants, and WCCO Radio, 830AM.
