Dear Friends,

Chicago winters can be especially hard on families facing financial challenges, and when children don’t have proper winter clothing, their health, school attendance, and overall well-being can suffer. No child should have to face the cold without a warm coat.

That’s why Taylor Services Youth Organization (TSYO) is proud to partner with Operation Warm and the Chitown Exotic Corvette Club to host our Children’s Winter Coat Giveaway, providing free, brand-new winter coats and accessories to children in need.

Event Details:
Date: Saturday, October 10, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Taylor Services Youth Organization
8610 South Stony Island Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60617

If your family could use a little help staying warm this season, we warmly invite you to join us. And if you know a family who could benefit, please share this message with them. Every coat and winter accessory we give away helps a child stay healthy, confident, and ready to learn all winter long.

We are deeply grateful to Operation Warm and the Chitown Exotic Corvette Club for their generosity and commitment to the children of our community. Together, we can build a more caring and compassionate community, one warm coat at a time.
