This month, O. Henry is participating in Coats for Kids, an annual community effort that collects and distributes over 30,000 coats to children and teenagers across Central Texas. Each year, The Junior League of Austin, Jack Brown Cleaners, iHeartRadio, and KVUE join forces to ensure the children in our community stay warm throughout the winter season.

How You Can Help:

• What to Donate: New or gently used children’s and teenagers’ coats.
• Where to Drop Off: Have your child bring their coat donation to the front office. As students turn in the coats, they should fill out the form in the front office so their ACES team gets credit.
• Collection: National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) will assist with promotion and tallying results.

Thank you for helping us support Central Texas children and families.
