LCH Health and Community Services joined with Concordville Subaru and Nissan once again to distribute 300 brand new coats for children in the community. 

Just in time for the first freeze of the season, LCH staff spent Thursday, Nov. 2 helping children from all over southern Chester County pick out a new coat in their favorite color. The annual event was held in the LCH West Grove health center, which is also the location of LCH Pediatrics. 

“One way we can support the health and well-being of our young patients is to make sure they have access to a warm coat that fits well,” said Dr. Paula Brenn, MD, FAAP, pediatrician at LCH. “Our friends at Concordville Subaru and Nissan do an amazing job of delivering brand new coats of every size from 2T to Adult XL in a variety of colors. The kids are proud to wear their nice new coats, and we are glad to know that their health is better protected through the winter months.” 

Coats are donated by regional auto dealerships and distributed through many community partners in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Delaware, and Chester County. Over 50,000 coats are handed out to children in need each year. LCH encouraged their patient families and neighbors in southern Chester County to come to the West Grove health center anytime between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to make sure their kids have a warm and comfortable coat this winter. 

2023 is the 16th year for the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation New Coat Program.
