The FCW, Inc. bi-annual “Koats for Kids” drive which started in 2022 is an effort to ensure children have adequate clothing to wear during the critical and cold moths of fall and winter. Through her own observations as a social worker, Faith Webber witnessed numerous children who did not have sufficient clothing such as coats, scarfs, sweaters etc. to wear during the winter months. Through her compassion, she would often use her own money to assist needy students.  Wait begin as  a discussion among some family members has mushroomed into an event that enabled  90 coats being purchased from local merchants. There was an additional number of coats provided to us through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Simmons of Charlotte, NC and Mr. and Mrs., Copher Burns of Greenville, South Carolina.
In the year of 2022, coats were provided to students at James Love and Graham Elementary Schools in Shelby and to West Elementary School in Kings Mountain in 2023.Plans are to continue this drive in 2025.
