United Way Coats for Kids Drive 2022

Last year, United Way of Southeastern Idaho, its Women United affinity group and Pocatello-Chubbuck Head Start program teamed up to provide 38 new warm coats to local children in need.

The United Way of Southeastern Idaho, its Women United affinity group and the Pocatello-Chubbuck Head Start Program are teaming up again to provide winter coats for local children in need.

“We are determined to ensure that every child in the Pocatello-Chubbuck Head Start program experiences warmth and comfort this winter,” said Wendi Ames, director of donor and community engagement at United Way. “We all remember how frigid and prolonged last winter was — let’s work together to help these children stay warm.”

The total need is $8,000, which will be used to provide a warm coat or winter boots for a child in need.

Please visit unitedwaysei.org/coats-kids to donate. A $35 donation provides one warm coat or winter boots to a child in need. A $70 donation ensures that two children stay warm this winter.

Contact Ames at wendi@unitedwaysei.org with any questions.

Like United Way of Southeastern Idaho, Women United of Southeastern Idaho builds powerful partnerships that improve outcomes for children, families and individuals in need. Together, we provide the building blocks for a better life and a stronger community.
