Caleb Henrichsen carries an arm full of coats into the classroom to be sorted as Herriman High students take part in a project hoping to provide warm winter coats to those in need during the pandemic on Friday, Oct. 16, 2020. What started out as a small coat drive for a local homeless shelter has turned into a much larger effort to provide winter coats for those in need in the communities of Riverton, West Jordan, South Jordan, Herriman, Copperton and Bluffdale. The coat drive is called “No Cold Kids” and students have even enlisted help from Scheels. The retailer will match every donation to the cause. So far, the students have collected about 200 new and gently used coats. However, their goal is to collect at least 800 coats.
