Giving The Gift of Warmth to Western New York
ABOUT
Coats 4 Kids is an annual program created by Colvin Cleaners. This program allows Buffalo's favorite dry cleaner to give back to the community in a way that WNYorkers desperately need -- by giving the gift of warmth. Colvin Cleaners, along with other partners, collects winter garments from all collection locations, schools, churches and many businesses.
We partner with local nonprofits in WNY to distribute items to families needing winter items to help them stay warm throughout the winter months.
