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.

FROM IDEA TO REALITY: THE EVOLUTION OF MSCOATS4KIDS
The reality before us is sobering. In the state of Mississippi, poverty is a harsh reality for over 246,000 children. Even more concerning, over 6,000 of these children are living in foster care. While there is much work to be done, organizations like MSCoats4Kids are making strides in helping these children.

Linda Keys
Truly Top-Notch-Ceo/ Executive Director
As the CEO and Executive Director 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.
