A Higher Purpose
Councils across North America can purchase new winter coats at a discount at knightsgear.com in the United States and Knightsgear.ca in Canada to distribute to children in need in their local communities. Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids®, a featured program, counts for two credits toward the Columbian Award.
Overview
Provide warmth for children in need during cold winter months. The Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids® program ensures that no child in North America goes without a coat during winter. Through the dedication of councils across the United States and Canada, hundreds of thousands of new winter coats have been distributed to children since the program's inception.
The Knights of Columbus Supreme Council does not profit from council purchases of coats through Knights Gear. Factories producing the coats undergo an annual audit by a 3rd party firm review to ensure they abide by ethical business practices and have a safe work environment.
