200 coats out the door and on the way to their new homes today! Hope supply meets the critical needs of children in Dallas! They were the ones who originally told us about the need for children’s coats! This was our 14th year donating to them! They do an amazing job!

And that’s a wrap on year 14!!!!

498 coats! Wow! Almost 500 warm children this winter because of YOU!

I can’t even begin to express how much it means that you all show up every year to help us make a difference in this world!

The time and money you put in to picking out the perfect coat for a child you will never meet is appreciated more than you will ever know!

Thank you will never be enough but we will continue to be so thankful to you all! Even if you cannot donate, just spreading the word helps also!

We’re a few days into our coat drive! Check out ways you can help. ❤️

Are you guys ready for year 14?!

Over the years we have collected over 2,000 new coats! That is over 2,000 kids that were warm all winter thanks to YOUR generosity! You guys are AMAZING!

For those that have wanted to donate but are not sure how to help, here is a little info on how to do so. If you have any other questions private message me and I will help however I can.

1. All coats must be new with tags.
2. Elementary age sizes are the most in demand but all sizes and colors are accepted.
3. I accept coats through the mail! If getting to a store is hard for you, no problem! Jump on Walmart, amazon, etc. and you can send it straight to my house.
4. If you prefer to make a Financial donation and we do the shopping for you, we have many ways to donate! (Cash, Check, Zelle, PayPal and Venmo!)

Most stores are just starting to put their coats out. So I will keep an eye out for the best deals! Right now Costco & Sam’s have some good sales going. Walmart always has them for around $20 and good quality.

If you have any questions or need any additional information just message me or check out our website at WWW.OPENARMSDFW.COM.

Thank you all so much for your help! We are so thankful for our village!
