Nonprofit gives hundreds of free coats, shoes to children in Warner Robins

Cozy Kidz gave away 200 new coats and over 100 pairs of shoes to children in need on Saturday.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Christmas came early for some kids in Warner Robins.

Cozy Kidz, a nonprofit organization, gave away 200 new coats and over 100 pairs of shoes to children in need on Saturday.

Families could bring their children to Word of Life Ministries from 8 to 11 a.m. to pick up a free pair of shoes or coat.

Sisters Amanda Smith and Melinda English are organizers for the event. They have participated in the giveaway for four years and they say it's great giving back to the community.

"It was almost like Black Friday in here," English said. "There is so much love in here and we just want to show people that we care about our community and that we're here for our community."

English says they ran out of shoes so quickly that they started giving some of the children cash so they could go buy some new shoes.

Smith says Cozy Kidz is dedicated to providing various types of aid to underprivileged children.

Kicks for Kidz will be giving our brand new shoes to children in need on 12/07/19. Please see flyer for details.
