BOULDER, Colo. (Dec. 30, 2025) — Cozy Coats for Kids® partnered with Northside Elementary in Rogers, Arkansas, to provide students with brand-new winter coats. Through its Annual Coat Delivery Program, the charity ensures each coat is carefully selected to meet the individual needs of children in the community. Lindsey Raberding at Northside Elementary coordinated the coat delivery, working closely with the organization to identify students and gather specific information about each child’s requirements.
Cozy Coats for Kids® fulfills each order based on a child’s specific color and style preference submitted by the partner coordinator, ensuring every coat is selected just for them. All coats were provided entirely free to both the school and the children who received them. The coats were shipped directly from Cozy Coats for Kids® and its sponsor, Inspector Outlet, to Northside Elementary, where staff distributed them to the students.
Raberding shared the deeper significance of the program’s approach:
“Many of our children are facing challenges most adults would struggle to imagine; some are living in motels, campers, or shared spaces, with little opportunity to make choices of their own. That’s why it meant so much that you not only provided beautiful, high-quality coats, but also gave each child the gift of choice. Watching their faces light up as they picked out their coat, one that reflected their style and personality, was truly special.”
The school also provided photos to accompany this year’s delivery, highlighting students proudly receiving their new winter coats and the joy this program brought to the community.
Cozy Coats for Kids® remains committed to improving the well-being of children nationwide by ensuring they receive a brand-new coat chosen just for them, a mission that grows stronger with each year of partnership.
