This is one that a bunch of different charitable organizations do and I am so glad, being painfully familiar with what it's like to be a child who is cold for lack of a coat. Children lack coats for a variety of reasons, such as Chronic Neglect. The parent is simply too caught up in their own emotional needs to even notice that the child is cold for lack of a coat. It doesn't make sense to the rest of us, especially if a coat can be had for just a couple dollars down at a second-hand store. But, it happens. And it's certainly not the child's fault, though it's the child who suffers. So, I urge you to consider donating your children's outgrown coats to a charity providing coats for kids. Not only will you be helping to keep them warm, perhaps even saving their lives, but you will be demonstrating that there are good people out there who notice them and want to help.

And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;"
