Warm Seats & Feet

Helping children stay warm, comfortable, and ready to learn

Warm Seats & Feet is a community-driven initiative that provides new socks, underwear, and essential clothing items to children in Randolph County. By meeting basic needs, we help children stay focused, confident, and ready to learn—no matter the season. When you donate, a family’s budget can go farther.

Why It Matters

Children can’t focus on learning when they’re uncomfortable or worried about basic needs. Access to warm, well-fitting clothing helps support attendance, confidence, and overall well-being.

Warm Seats & Feet offers a simple way for our community to respond to a real, ongoing need—helping children show up ready to learn, play, and grow.
