The coats may have been distributed, but the work of building hope and stability continues.

This week, our community came together to help warm more than 1,100 children. More than winter gear was shared. Families were reminded of something powerful:

You matter, and we're here for you.

That's what happens when a community comes together. We don't just meet immediate needs. We build hope. We create stability. We help children and families know they are supported and valued.

Now, there are new opportunities to continue that impact:
🎄 Angel Tree & Toy Collection
🔔 Red Kettle Bell Ringing
📦 Christmas Distribution Preparation & Cleanup
✨ Giving Tuesday | December 1
✨ Bucket Brigade | December 4

Every toy donated, every volunteer shift filled, every hour spent ringing bells, and every dollar given helps ensure local families experience the hope, joy, and stability that can change the direction of a season.

The same spirit that filled our coat racks can fill Christmas wish lists, holiday tables, and hearts throughout our community.

Visit our Community Impact Hub to find the opportunity that's right for you. https://linktr.ee/TSAFDL
Together, let's keep building hope and stability, one family at a time. ❤️

As we look back on Coat Distribution Day, these photos capture the moments just before the doors opened.

Racks filled the gym. Tables overflowed with hats, scarves, mittens, snow pants, and coats. Not because winter had arrived, but because our community had already stepped forward to make sure children would be ready when it did.

Because of your generosity, more than 1,100 children will stay warmer this winter, bringing comfort, confidence, and greater stability to local families.

A special thank you to Georgetown Cleaners, and Buck, our honorary coat drive captain, for delivering collection boxes, picking up donations throughout the community, and cleaning every coat with care before it reached a child.

Thank you to everyone who donated, handcrafted winter items, and supported this effort, including our registered collection site partners:

Alliant Energy, Ameriprise Financial, Ascention Lutheran, Aurora Clinic, Children's Museum of Fond du Lac, Chimera Hobby Shop, Culver's (East and South), Edward Jones (multiple locations), FDL Public Library Express, Envision Greater Fond du Lac, First Presbyterian Church, Fleet Farm, Fond du Lac Church of Christ, Fond du Lac Family Chiropratic, Fox Valley Savings Bank, Harley-Davison Fond du Lac, Immanuel-Trinity Lutheran Church, Maury Family Dental, Marchant Schmidt, Pilgrim United Church of Christ, River Hills Apartments, Immel Insurance, St. Marys Sprinngs Academy, Silica For Your Home, Silver Creek Dentistry, Seek Careers/Staffing, Society Insurance and Spillman Library.

And the impact doesn't end here. Any coats and winter gear not selected during distribution will be shared with local schools and community partner resource closets, helping ensure children can find warmth when they need it throughout the winter season.

The racks that once filled this room may now be empty, but the kindness behind them will be felt for months to come.

Together, we did more than provide warmth. We helped provide stability. ❤️

This season reminds us that communities grow stronger when people share what they have.
Sometimes that's time.
Sometimes that's encouragement.
Sometimes that's service, as Bonnie shows us, pictured here with her bags of winter coats she's spent all summer hunting for at yard sales
And sometimes it's simply showing up for another person.
🌞Question for you:
What's one way you'd like to make a positive impact this winter?

🕛This weekend we turned our clocks back and gained an extra hour.
As the days grow shorter, many people begin noticing changes in sleep, energy, and routine.
Building your impact starts with taking care of yourself.
Question for you:
😴 What's your best tip for getting a good night's sleep?

10/31/2026

Today's the final day to apply for Coat Assistance and Christmas Assistance.
If you know someone who may benefit, help us spread the word.

Question for you:
❤️ What's a kindness you've never forgotten receiving?
