Our Core Programs

Year-round programs that form the foundation of our mission.

Annual Program Fall Season

Our largest annual program provides warm winter coats to children throughout Danville and Surrounding Areas. Families are referred through our partner agencies, and every coat is provided completely free of charge.

1,002 coats given in 2025
  • New and gently used coats for all ages
  • Infant through teen sizes available
Holiday Program November - December

Christmas Stockings

Each holiday season, our volunteers lovingly assemble stockings filled with age-appropriate gifts for children in our community. These stockings bring Christmas joy to families who might otherwise go without.
