Warm Coats Giveaway
Annually, before the beginning of the cold winter months, CNS holds our Warm Coats Giveaway. We provide coats, hats, and gloves to teens and children in need to prepare them for the winter. Over the last 10 years, we have provided over 13,000 coats to the underserved youth population of Detroit.
-
Winterfest
The holidays can be a very stressful time for families who cannot afford food or utilities. Holiday food and gifts are often an unreachable goal for those at or below poverty level. To help assist in bridging this disparity gap and create a happy holiday experience for the children we serve, CNS holds an annual holiday event, Winterfest, which provides gift such as toys, books, toiletries, clothing, school supplies, food and drink, and gift cards. To ensure no child leaves empty-handed, CNS also ensures that siblings of children receiving services are included.
