Nominate A School For Free Winter Coats!

Have you heard? Keeping Kids Warm has given away nearly 90,000 winter coats across the nation since its inception in 1995 by Charming Shoppes, Inc. Charming Shoppes' family of stores includes Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Catherines Plus Sizes, and Petite Sophisticate. The program donates brand new fashionable winter coats along with hats, scarves, gloves and school supplies to underprivileged elementary school children around the country.

"We just finished a very successful year, giving away 20,000 free coats, and we look forward to giving warmth to more and more children this fall," said Dorrit J. Bern, CEO and President of Charming Shoppes. "We've learned that school attendance is largely affected by the availability of winter coats, and we are pleased to contribute to the cause for a better learning environment."

So if YOU know a school that can benefit from a visit fromKeeping Kids Warm, take action and send an e-mail to KeepingKidsWarm@charming.com and tell them why those students need winter coats!
