WARM KIDS Project

We are pleased and proud to announce that on January 19, 2024, all operations of the Warm Kids Project were transferred to Communities In Schools of Kalamazoo. This move was unanimously approved by the Warm Kids Project Board of Directors. It is a proactive step to enable the long-term continuation of the important work of providing new winter clothing to Kalamazoo County children in need.

Thanks again to Ron Jackson Insurance Agency and their clients for their support through the Quotes for a Cause program. This big check = big support for kids in Kalamazoo next winter!

Thank you to Ron Jackson Insurance Agency for your donation!

We are so happy to share our 2020 year end results from our QFAC program!

QFAC means Quotes for a Cause. We donate $5 per quote that we provide, with a minimum of $1,000 per month. The donation goes to the corresponding local non-profit that we have chosen.

We are always looking for new local non-profits to donate to!

Thank you to those we gave quotes to in 2020 — you helped donate over $12,000 to our community!

On November 17 WARM KIDS Project completed our 34th annual distribution, delivering:
1,140 new coats,
1,148 new pairs of boots,
1,100 cozy hats,
and 1100 pairs of gloves and mittens to children across Kalamazoo County.

We simply could not have accomplished this feat without help from volunteers at each school and agency we serve. Administrators, social workers, Communities In Schools of Kalamazoo staff, and other staff are responsible for so much! They contact parents, measure kids, fill out forms, meet deadlines, and distribute the clothing to happy children--it is truly a labor of love, especially in a year full of logistical challenges.

To these helpers, our loyal volunteers, our Board of Directors, foundation funders, and individual donors--we thank you!

Thanks to Kitty Copeland and Kalamazoo Kitty for supporting Warm Kids with a Halloween Raffle! 🧡

Thank you Radiant Church and the kind people who volunteered to box warm winter coats, boots, hats and gloves for Kalamazoo County elementary schools. Such an efficient and enthusiastic group of friends extending a helping hand in our community.

We already knew KalamazooKitty.com was amazing, but they are generously holding a raffle on Halloween that will benefit the WARM KIDS Project!

Support this amazing business and kids across Kalamazoo County at the same time!

Warm Kids Project has amazing, dedicated volunteers who allow us to offer more than new coats and boots.

We recently received beautiful hand-knitted hats and gloves from Jan Hageman (pictured), Sandy Dundore and Krystal Jansen.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Slots for 18 volunteers are currently available across October 27, 28, and 29. Volunteers will pack new coats, boots, and winter accessories for kids across Kalamazoo County!
