For over 30 years, the Coats for Kids & Families program has been a vital tradition, collecting and distributing winter wear to vulnerable individuals and families in the Edmonton and surrounding areas.

This year, following the closure of United Way of the Alberta Capital Region’s InKind Exchange and
warehouse programs, Page the Cleaner—the program’s dedicated cleaning partner since 1992—has proudly stepped up to lead the charge! We simply couldn’t let this essential community initiative disappear when the need is so great.

We need your help to keep this legacy going and ensure thousands stay warm this winter.
