(10/15/25) - WIBH Radio Begins 15th Annual New Coats, New Hope Campaign (A Fundraiser to Support Local Children in Need)

While warmer temperatures continue to linger, winter is not far ahead. Once again, WIBH Radio in Anna has begun its annual New Coats, New Hope Campaign to buy new coats for kids age 3 to 16 living in the lower 45 counties of Illinois. Now in its 15th year, the radio station will partner once again with local agencies and businesses to help children impacted by abuse, neglect, disaster, and family need.

Nearly 20% of Southern Illinois children live in poverty compared with 16% statewide. For many families in the region, a warm coat for their child is an essential item during colder months. “We are fortunate to live in a community that cares about the needs of others,” said Moury Bass, co-owner of WIBH. “That’s why we are using the voice of WIBH radio to let our listeners know that there are children in Southern Illinois who need warm coats for the upcoming winter.”

Each year, coats are purchased through the nonprofit organization Operation Warm. Through the years, over $85,000 has been raised to purchase over 4,300 new coats. The Campaign’s goal for 2025 is 500 coats.

Sponsorship of a coat is just $25, but any monetary contribution is appreciated. Donations by check or money order must be made payable to Operation Warm and sent to WIBH Radio, Attn: Moury Bass, 330 South Main Street, Anna, IL 62906. You can also donate online at www.operationwarm.org/wibh. Each year Shipping Saint in Anna donates shipping of the coats which allows 100% of all donations to go directly to purchasing the coats. Deadline to donate is December 12, 2025.

Coats will be distributed to families through Arrowleaf in Vienna, the Children’s Medical and Mental Health Resource Network (CMMHRN) in Anna, Rural Health, Inc. in Anna, and all Southern 7 Head Start locations. No paperwork or proof of income is required to receive a coat. Coats are available while supplies last.

Other local businesses are also partnering with WIBH to keep coat costs low. Shawnee Mass Transit District in Vienna and Anna will help deliver coats to their distribution sites, while T&I Office Equipment in Anna is donating the printing of flyers used in outreach. Anyone wanting flyers to distribute should contact Moury at the radio station for delivery or pickup.

Operation Warm is a national nonprofit that creates new, high-quality coats for children in need that partners with individuals and organizations across the United States to give a gift of warmth, confidence and hope to millions of children in need. Operation Warm believes a brand new coat is more than a coat, promoting self-esteem, school attendance and outdoor play.

For more information, or to request a coat for a child in need, contact Moury Bass at WIBH at 618-833-9424 or Shawnna Rhine at Southern 7 Head Start at 618-634-2297 ext. 971161. Details can also be found on the WIBH New Coats, New Hope Campaign page. To learn more about Operation warm, visit www.operationwarm.org.

Dear KCI Families,

Here is the center link to Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build up your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. And when you shop with Clubs, your orders earn points we can redeem for books and other classroom supplies we need.

Here’s how it works: We'll send home flyers throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you can do that through our class ordering page (link below). You can also browse through the Nov/Dec flyer sent home today on your child's clip. Create an account and scan the QRL code. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order.

By teaming up with Scholastic, we’ll help your child become a more confident, independent reader—and we’ll build a classroom library all of our students are excited to explore!

Happy reading!
