Dear Friends:

Love Las Cruces, D2 Designs, Knights of Columbus and Comet Cleaners sponsor the Coats for Kids program in Las Cruces to help children in our area. This is the 30th year of this program, and we have been busy!

This is a simple and compassionate project that makes a large impact in our community.

We distributed more than 3,000 coats last year, because of the generous donations of new and gently used coats, as well as the cash we received, no child was turned away.

Over 60,000 coats have been given to needy children in Dona Ana County, since we began this program in 1995!

This program is funded by the community’s support.

As we move into the cold winter months, we know you would agree no child in our community should be without a warm winter coat. You can help us by giving a donation to the Coats for Kids program. We will no longer be accepting gently used or new coats because we do not have a place to store them. We will be accepting online and in person donations only to order & distribute coats. Your generosity will make a difference to a child who is less fortunate. We work closely with the Social Workers and Counselors in the Las Cruces Public Schools, Hatch Public Schools, and the Gadsden School District to help us identify children, birth through the 5th grade, who need a coat. LCPS counselors will accept coat registrations April through June.

Please join us in making Southern New Mexico a warm and wonderful place to live and grow for all children. Please donate online by clicking the Donate tab at the top of the page, or mail your cash donation to D2 Designs, 101 Perkins St., Ste. 2, Las Cruces NM 88005 (please make checks payable to Coats for Kids). You gift is tax deductible. Thank you for your support!

With Warmest Regards,
