Okaloosa Gas District donated over 300 coats to United Way Emerald Coast in December. The donation directly supports United Way’s annual Coats for Kids campaign, which aims to provide a warm coat to every child in need throughout Okaloosa and Walton counties during the holiday season.
The Coats for Kids mission is to share the warmth and ensure every child in Okaloosa and Walton counties who needs a winter coat receives one.
The coats are delivered primarily through school districts, but also churches and other non-profit agencies that work with children.
New or gently-used, clean coat donations are still being accepted at the United Way Emerald Coast office in Fort Walton Beach, or one of the many drop off locations throughout Okaloosa and Walton counties. For more information, visit united-way.org/coats-for-kids/.
