![describe the image](https://info.lynden.com/hs-fs/file-250841146-jpeg/images/logo_ltia.jpeg?width=243&height=80&name=logo_ltia.jpeg)For the fourth year, Fred Meyer is partnering with The Salvation Army Alaska Division and [Lynden Transport](https://www.lynden.com/ltia/) to provide new coats for children throughout Alaska through the [Coats for Kids](http://www.coats-for-kids.org/) program. The program helps prepare Alaska’s neediest schoolchildren for winter. More than 4,500 Alaska students are due to receive free winter coats this year. The shipment arrived in Anchorage Aug. 6, courtesy of Lynden Transport, in cooperation with Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE), and was unpacked and sorted with the help of Fred Meyer volunteers. Lynden Transport donated the shipping costs of the coats from Fred Meyer’s distribution center in Chehalis, WA, to Anchorage and donated shipping to communities throughout Alaska.

[The Salvation Army](http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/) is coordinating distribution with Lynden Transport to the following Alaska communities: Cordova, Fairbanks, Kodiak, Angoon, Ketchikan, Haines, Hoonah, Juneau, Kake, Klawock, Petersburg, Sitka and Wrangell.
