WINTER WARM WEAR PROGRAM
ResourceWest provides winter warm wear to over 1,000 Twin Cities West Metro children annually, aged infants through 18, so they have a safe, fun, and healthy winter.
Families visit ResourceWest during appointments between mid-October and early November to choose a new or gently used winter coat, new water-resistant gloves or mittens, and a new hat for their children.

At the time of your appointment, you must bring a photo I.D., proof of current address, and identification for each registered child.
Other qualifications include having physical custody of your child and the child being an infant - 18 years of age.
