Kids in Coats: Free winter gear for families

If your family needs assistance with winter outerwear for children, you may be eligible for United Way of Windham County’s Kids in Coats Fund.

Here is a summary of the eligibility guidelines for KIC:

  • Children ages 0-grade 6 are eligible for assistance;
  • Children must reside in Windham County;
  • Families must be at or below 130% of federal poverty level;
  • Families will receive vouchers (valid November 6, 2019 – January 15, 2020) for use at participating stores (inc. resale and retail) to purchase winter outerwear, providing them more flexibility based on their resources; and
  • All eligible families may not receive assistance, due to limited resources; there will be a lottery system for all eligible families.

All applications must come through a referral source; no self-referrals are accepted. Winston Prouty Center is a referring agency for the KIC fund. Please contact Winston Prouty for more information.

Completed applications must be submitted to the Winston Prouty Center by October 24, 2019 to be considered for any assistance. This is a firm deadline.

  • The beginning of every bookmobile visit.
  • Thanks to all for attending last night's Building Bright Futures Legislative Forum where we had the opportunity to discuss how to make Windham County the best place to raise kids.
  • In this episode of the Winston Prouty Podcast, host Willie Gussin speaks with Behavior Consultation and Support Specialist Brandy Levesque. Brandy tells us about how she ended up at Winston Prouty and the importance of self-care for early educators. “Going to visit a family and hearing a parent tell a story about being able to be out in the community, grocery shopping or something, with their child, and their child was able to have good self-control or regulation, when I hear a story like that, even one time a week, feels like success. Changes like this, with kids with challenging behavior, take a long time and a lot of practice on both the kid's part and adult's part." #podcast #brattleboro #vermont #humanservices #earlyeducation #earlychildhood #nonprofit
  • Winston Prouty Center's Sueño LeBlond shares a shadow puppet show aboard the Early Learning Express Bookmobile. The story is an adaptation of the book Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming, which is warm-hearted tale of forest animals settling down for their winter nap.  Watch whole 5 minute story at the link in our bio.
  • Happy Halloween!
  • In this episode of the Winston Prouty Podcast, host Willie Gussin speaks with Executive Assistant Sarah DiNicola about the many facets of her role and her experience working at Winston Prouty after getting to know the organization as a parent in the Early Learning Center. “I’ve seen the effect of having a good start. [My daughters] are successful in school and have good communication skills, so I really hold this as a space that families should feel good about...so I try to just continue that high quality environment by being at my best at my work and supporting all the other people working hard here.” #podcast #brattleboro #vermont #humanservices #earlyeducation #earlychildhood #nonprofit
