Donate to Coats for Kids
You can help keep Grande Prairie warm each winter. Donate your gently-used winter-wear to the Merv Crouse Coats for Kids Campaign. Drop off your jackets, pants, snowsuits, mitts & toques at Crouse’s Cleaners between October 1st and October 31st. Children are the focus of the program, but items are accepted in all sizes. Materials must be washable (we cannot accept boots, leather, suede, or wool).
Donations are cleaned & redistributed free of charge to those in need.

The Coats for Kids Distribution Centre is open October 15 to November 15. Gently-used winter-wear in all sizes is available free of charge to those in need. Check back in September for more information.
