Woodbridge, CT -Trinity Council's 4th Annual Coats for Kids in 2018 set another record.

The program started in the spring and was completed in December. This year we distributed a record 468 new boy's and girl's winter coats to 18 schools, churches and service organization, an increase from 16 in 2017. In the three previous years, the council distributed 36, 84 and 264 coats.

The groups included:

Ansonia - Birmingham Health Care

Bethany Community School

Bridgeport - Blessed Sacrament Church

Milford - Beth-El Center

Oxford Center School

Wallingford - Cook Hill School and Parker Farms School

West Haven - St. Louis Church

Our Lady of the Assumption through the Angel Tree gift program and families

Woodbridge - Beecher Road School

New Haven - Amistad Academy Elementary School; Farnam Neighborhood House; King/Robinson Magnet School; Integrated Refugee and Immigration Services (IRIS); St. Martin de Porres Academy; St. Francis and St. Rose of Lima School, St. Rose de Lima Church and Worthington Hooker School

The program could not have been successful without the financial support of the OLOA parish, the Social Action Committee, the Ladies Guild, Trinity Council and its members, PEZ Candy, Inc, DiGennaro Service, Lock Stock & Barrel and Laticrete International in Bethany and A-1 Toyota in New Haven.

To achieve these results, the program raised $9,300.
