Last year in Quinte West, there were more than 450 winter coats given to children in need.
This year, the Quinte West Professional Firefighters Association (Local 1328) will make sure once again, no kid is cold this winter.
The 28th annual Coats for Kids program is back and firefighters at Station 1 in Trenton are collecting winter coat donations.
All year round Trenton firefighters conduct fundraising activities and shop for good quality winter wear, so they can simply give coats away as the cold weather approaches.
Each year, the QWPFFA dedicates two days to handing out free winter coats to children in need, up to the age of 17.
