Hillside mall is Collecting KIDS COATS for Victoria Coats for Kids. IF you have some old coats your kiddos have outgrown, please consider dropping them off for this incredible program.

Each year they collect coats for children & youth and distribute them through local charities, like 1Up in the fall
We are thrilled to be a part of this program, and to be able to offer coats to our single parent families each fall/winter.

*Children/youth and Adult sizes are all accepted*

No kids should go without a warm coat this season.
