Coats For Kids is adding the community to its “outreach,” organizers said.

Looking to increase its overall community outreach, the Coats For Kids program in October provided the Northwest Veterans Resource Center with $1,225 worth of certificates that can be used for coats, shoes, socks and underwear at any Walmart store.

The center is the home of the Clallam County Veterans Relief Fund, a program that provides emergency assistance to qualified veterans and their families.

Veterans can get a number of services through the center, including education and vocational rehabilitation, housing programs, employment, bus passes, telemental health and more.
