MSCOATS4KIDZ WELCOMES YOU
Here at MSCoats4Kids, our mission is to empower kids, spark confidence, and make a difference in their lives.
OUR MISSION
At MSCoats4Kidz, our mission is simple: keeping children warm, one coat at a time. We believe that every child deserves to have a warm coat during the winter months, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality for as many children as possible.
Founded in 2016, MSCoats4Kidz has made a tremendous impact thanks to the help of members and volunteers in the Batesville, Mississippi community. The core of our work lies in the continuous passion and dedication we bring to the range of projects we take part in. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
WAYS WE HELP
The Focus of Our Efforts
Coatz4Kids
Since 2015, MSCoats4Kids has been the primary form of outreach for kids in need of warm winter coats. We have provided over 17,000 children with warm clothing, and that number continues to grow. It takes an entire community to lift up a child, and that's why we partner with local businesses, teachers, churches, and other organizations to maximize our efforts. Our mission is to ensure that no child goes without a coat, and we won't stop until we achieve that goal.
Blankets4Babies
MSCoats4Kids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping children in need warm during the winter months. We have been serving the community for a number of years, and we’re thrilled to announce our expanded efforts to include newborns. This year, we partnered with local hospitals to provide 1,000 baby blankets to new mothers. We will continue to work tirelessly to provide children in need with the proper winter clothing to stay healthy, happy, and warm. Join our mission today and help make a difference in the lives of children in our community.
Something4Seniors
Since our inception, we have been dedicated to helping the community by providing warm coats and clothing to those in need. In 2020, our dedicated team rallied together and were able to provide elderly citizens at adult day cares and nursing homes with coats and hats to help during the cold winter months. As the pandemic continues to affect the lives of many seniors, we remain committed to our mission of bringing warmth to those who need it most.

Truly Top-Notch- President/Ceo
As the President and CEO of MSCoats4Kids, I am proud to lead an organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in need. My passion for giving back to the community began in December of 2015 when I decided to use my experience and resources to help those who couldn't help themselves. My journey started in Charleston, MS, where I was born and raised, and continued through my successful career at Ford Motor Company. Today, I am committed to working tirelessly to make a positive impact in the lives of children across Mississippi.
