Learn How to Donate to PATH’s Coats For Kids Campaign this Month

PATH's Coats For Kids campaign has kicked off. Throughout the month of October, participating dry cleaners will take your new or gently used coat, clean them for free and give them to PATH to give to kids in need for the colder months in East Texas.

PATH (People Attempting To Help) was founded in 1985 by Gertrude Windsor with the "mission to restore hope with a personalized approach to empower our East Texas neighbors to thrive in our community." In 2019, PATH helped 19,000 East Texans with emergency assistance, medical services, housing, child mentoring and more. PATH also operates a large food pantry. In addition to Coats For Kids, PATH also hosts drives for diapers and box fans to help those in need in East Texas.
