2026 Winter Coat Program

As the weather gets colder, having a warm coat is an important part of preparing for the winter months. CrossNet’s Winter Coat Program is one way our community comes together to help ensure children have a warm coat to wear throughout the winter.

This year’s Winter Coat Program was held on October 10th in the parking lot behind The Clothing Commons. In addition to having kids pick out a coat they liked, we also had several fun fall activities for them to enjoy. Kids were able to paint a pumpkin, get their faces painted, and enjoy some yummy fall treats! Families also had the opportunity to tour our brand-new Clothing Commons, which is now available as a resource for our community year-round. We loved being able to offer more than just a winter coat, but also a fun memory for families.

A special thanks to W Donuts for providing donuts for our event and to everyone who donated coats and helped make this program possible! Because of the generosity of our community, over 250 kids in the ELANCO community received a warm coat for the winter. We love seeing our community come together to care for and support local families!
