Today, our incredible and dedicated team of volunteers led a coat distribution at a local school in Perú. What a milestone moment this is.

For the very first time, a distribution was fully organized and funded by local people in Perú. This is more than just an event , it’s proof that communities are rising up to care for their own. Seeing local leaders step forward with compassion and generosity is deeply inspiring.

Winter is coming, and June and July are the coldest months in the mountains of Perú. We are now planning to sponsor even more schools in remote areas, including returning to some of the communities we first visited 7 years ago.
Would you like to help? Together, we can make a child smile and bring warmth to those who need it most. Every contribution makes a difference, and all donations are tax deductible.

Our director from Peru is currently traveling in the United States, visiting friends and family, and had the opportunity to serve on Christmas Day at the Wentzville outreach with Lions Cub in Missouri. Together, they served and prepared hundreds of meals for individuals and families during this special season of celebration.

Moments like these remind us why this mission matters so deeply. Your generosity continues to open doors and hearts in places where hope can feel distant.

Our overseas The Coat Project simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and heart of our local volunteers.

From our incredible Director of Operations, who keeps every detail running smoothly, to our tireless travel coordinator, to our drivers, friends, brothers, and sisters who spend the day with us distributing hundreds of coats, it truly takes a family to make this happen.

What looks like one day of celebration is actually weeks of planning, teamwork, and sacrifice. The joy on the children’s faces is only possible because of the hands and hearts of those serving right beside us.

We are so grateful for this local team, the true heroes behind the scenes who make sure every coat finds its way into the arms of a child in ne
