Families in need of warm winter clothing are invited to attend the 2025 Free “Coats for Kids” distribution on Tuesday, December 9, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Cargill Council 64 Knights of Columbus Hall, located at 68 Providence Street in Putnam.
This annual initiative, jointly organized by the Northeastern Connecticut Knights of Columbus and the Danielson Elks Lodge 1706, provides brand-new winter coats for boys and girls in a range of toddler, youth, and teen sizes. Coats are available in various colors and styles to help children stay warm during the coldest months of the year.
In addition to new children’s coats, the event will also offer free, gently used winter coats for men and women. All items are provided at no cost, and the program is open to anyone in need, with no registration, documentation, or obligation required.
Organizers stress that this is the final distribution event of 2025, following the successful program recently held in Plainfield. They encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for winter before temperatures drop further.
For more information, please contact John D. Ryan at (860) 928-5873. (Please note: voice calls only; no texts.)
