The signature Coats for Kids project of the Kiwanis Club of Aurora was back in full swing this year.
 
The team gathered on October 17, 2024 - a cool, crisp fall day - to assemble, pack and prepare elementary, junior high and high school coats for kids in the communities we serve.  An excess of 1500 coats were delivered directly to schools in districts 129, 131 & 308 for distribution to youth who might not otherwise have warm winter gear.
