The Salvation Army - Central Indiana Area Command

The Salvation Army of Central Indiana and its partners, Classic Cleaners and WTHR News 13, collaborate annually with the community and volunteers like you to give coats and winter accessories to thousands of children in need throughout the Indianapolis area.  Volunteers spend countless hours sorting and organizing coats and winter accessories before the distribution date, and more than 150 volunteers are needed to provide their support on the event date.

Volunteer shifts are now posted for the following positions:
***sorting/inventory days at a warehouse in Whitestown (tentative September 11/18/25, October 2/9/16/23 and 28-29) 
***set up at Indiana State Fairgrounds from October 30-November 1
***distribution day at Indiana State Fairgrounds on November 2 

We also have donation opportunities available to host a coat drive and drop off coats (new and gently used children and adult sizes) at any Classic Cleaners location, purchase new coats and drop off at Classic Cleaners location, or make a financial donation on our website to support the purchase of coats.  

We welcome both individual volunteers and groups of volunteers to help us ensure a successful Coats for Kids campaign.  Please contact Kathy with questions or for more information at 317-224-1010 or kathy.dallacosta@usc.salvationarmy.org.
