HOW YOU
CAN HELP |
|
Funding:
Support money
that has been given
for the project goes
to buy new coats.
Firefighters visit
all major department
stores in Blount,
Knoxville, Sevier
and other areas to
find those after
season bargains.
Coats are purchased
as needed but
generally coats are
purchased at greatly
reduced prices after
season. This
purchasing strategy
allows your support
dollars to go as far
as possible, helping
us reach our goal to
put as many kids as
possible in a new
coat.
How can you help?
Donate new and used
coats.
Support money
(checks to Blount
County Fire-Coats
for Our Community)
Volunteer your time
to help process and
deliver coats. |

Coats for Our
Community |
|
Providing winter
coats for those in
need since 1994 |
 |
The numbers:
From the
first year
of a few
coats -- to
today many
things have
changed. One
thing that
never
changes ---
Blount
County folks
are still
giving. Over
the last 14
years we
have
received and
processed
thousands of
coats and
passed on to
our friends
in need many
thousands of
coats. We
have also
installed
hundreds of
smoke alarms
keeping our
community
safer and
warmer. The
season of
2007-2008,
the program
provided
coats to
|
|
over 600
kids and
well over
1000 adults.
The number
of folks
receiving
coats
continues to
rise each
year.
|
| |
The process:
Coats are
collected at
many
drop-off
points in
the County
--- all fire
stations,
and many
businesses.
Coats are
inspected by
Firefighters
and Coat
volunteers.
Each coat is
inspected to
make sure
each is in
good
condition
and clean.
If dirty,
coats are
washed and
dried in the
fire
station. All
coats, after
inspection
are
delivered to
our main
distribution
center
located at
Blount
County Fire
Station 7 at
5156
Sevierville
Road. After
reaching
Station 7
all coats
are checked
in, sorted
by size and
hung on
racks.
|
| |
Families
or persons
needing
coats are
invited in
to our
station to
“shop” for a
coat (in the
privacy of
our coat
rooms).
Each person
is allowed
to receive
one heavy
coat and one
light weight
coat.

Coats for
Kids:
This past
year the
program put
good warm
coats on
over 600
kids. These
coats were
delivered to
all schools
in Blount
County, the
City of
Alcoa, the
City of
Maryville,
and
Greenback.
Each school
is contacted
for a list
of needs.
The coats
are then
delivered in
the Coats
for Our
Community
trailer.
Students
that need a
coat come to
the trailer
to “shop”
for that
special
coat. When
available,
toboggans,
gloves and
socks are
also given. |
