Saying no child should have to face the cold without the proper attire, the Unemployed Help Centre - Hub of Opportunities is providing families in the region the opportunity to make sure everyone has a proper coat, hat, and mitts for the winter.
The organization has been giving out coats to families in need since 2001, and will do it again on Saturday at Forest Glade Public School.
The event starts at 10 a.m. and will end at 3 p.m.
"Many individuals struggle to provide these necessities to their families and turn to organizations like UHC for help," said a release.
Once again this year, there are more than 6,000 gently used coats to choose from, along with basic human necessities, like hats and gloves. Cintas cleaned all the coats.
"Families will be able to shop for themselves, allowing them to maintain their independence and pick out their favourite coat and accessories," the release said.
There are five additional distribution sites across Windsor-Essex this year, which will provide coats throughout the month of November.
