Volunteer Opportunity: Winter Coat Distribution at East Side Elementary

Be part of something heartwarming—literally and figuratively!

Join us for a meaningful morning of service at the East Side Elementary Winter Coat Distribution as we help students stay warm and ready to learn this season. In partnership with Bedford County Schools, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, World Literacy Foundation, Five Below, Commissioner Gregory Vick, cityCURRENT, and Operation Warm Coat, we’re making sure local students stay warm and feel supported this winter.

Coca-Cola Reyes Bottling will make sure every child is bundled up with gloves and hats. The World Literacy Foundation will inspire learning by gifting books, and the new Five Below in Shelbyville is donating tote bags so every child can carry home these wonderful treasures.

Volunteer Roles: Greeting students, helping students select coats, distributing hats, gloves, and books, and sharing smiles.

Event Details:

What should I wear? Plan to wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in – jeans, slacks, and sneakers.  If you are serving as part of an organization, company, church, etc., feel free to represent your group by wearing a T-shirt bearing your group’s logo.

Is there an age limit to serve? An adult must accompany all volunteers under 16. This is a fun and impactful way for you and your team, family, and friends to make a difference and give back to your community so please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who you think might be interested.

We hope you will join us!
