Today, our incredible and dedicated team of volunteers led a coat distribution at a local school in Perú. What a milestone moment this is.

For the very first time, a distribution was fully organized and funded by local people in Perú. This is more than just an event , it’s proof that communities are rising up to care for their own. Seeing local leaders step forward with compassion and generosity is deeply inspiring.

Winter is coming, and June and July are the coldest months in the mountains of Perú. We are now planning to sponsor even more schools in remote areas, including returning to some of the communities we first visited 7 years ago.
Would you like to help? Together, we can make a child smile and bring warmth to those who need it most. Every contribution makes a difference, and all donations are tax deductible.

Christmas Day was a beautiful time of celebration. Our director from Peru is currently traveling in the United States, visiting friends and family, and had the opportunity to serve on Christmas Day at the Wentzville outreach with Lions Cub in Missouri. Together, they served and prepared hundreds of meals for individuals and families during this special season of celebration.

We’re incredibly grateful to the University of Texas at El Paso for writing such a great article highlighting this work. Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring smiles and warm coats to hundreds of kids. Your generosity and support are making a real difference!

Thank you for standing with us, together, we’re making a real difference, one coat at a time.

Our overseas The Coat Project simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and heart of our local volunteers.

From our incredible Director of Operations, who keeps every detail running smoothly, to our tireless travel coordinator, to our drivers, friends, brothers, and sisters who spend the day with us distributing hundreds of coats, it truly takes a family to make this happen.

We are so grateful for this local team, the true heroes behind the scenes who make sure every coat finds its way into the arms of a child in ne
