Feel the Warmth is dedicated to collecting and distributing gently-used or new winter coats and new hats and gloves to students in need in the greater-Philadelphia area.  Our 2014 annual children's coat drive will be held through the months of November and December.  Although we collect coats throughout the year, this drive is our primary effort to build our supply of coats so they can be delivered to those in need throughout the upcoming winter season. 

Due to the projected demand, we are anticipating 4,500 requests for coats in 2014.

Through the months of November, December, and January, we will be working towards building our supply of new toys and new or gently used books. More information to come on these events!

Participate in KidCents to round up your purchases at Rite Aid and give the change to programs for kids in our communities. Rite Aid has long been committed to helping our communities live well. That’s why The Rite Aid Foundation introduced KidCents, an easy way for wellness+ members to make a difference.

The Rite Aid Foundation developed KidCents as a way to do even more to help the kids in the communities we serve.

By participating in KidCents, wellness+ members can round up every purchase to the nearest dollar, giving kids in need a chance for better lives and brighter futures.

We are proud to partner with nonprofit kid-focused organizations in our local communities that are committed to helping improve the health and well-being of children.  Through our KidCents program, you can also designate your change to Feel The Warmth.

In 2013, Feel The Warmth donated close to 1,000 supply-filled backpacks to local, less fortunate students. We have been working closely with school officials and teachers over the past several months and realize that an expanded effort will be required to meet the needs of our students in 2014.  Our annual School Supply & Uniform Campaign kicked-off on August 4th and ran through September 5.  This year's goal is to fill 2,000 backpacks and collect hundreds of school uniforms during this campaign. We cannot reach this goal without help from you, our community. 

Please consider organizing a drive or donating backpacks, school supplies, or uniforms anytime throughout the year.
