As winter approaches, the cold weather reminds us of those in our community who might struggle to stay warm. This year, more than ever, we need your help. Join us on November 24, 2024, for our 4th Annual Coat Drive. This is a great opportunity to share warmth and comfort with those who need it most.
Why We Need Your Help
Every winter, many individuals and families experience the bitter cold without proper clothing. In our local area, nearly 20% of residents live below the poverty line, often facing difficulties affording basic needs like warm clothing. By donating new or gently used items such as coats, sweaters, jackets, hoodies, gloves, scarves, and hats, you directly make a positive impact in their lives.
This year, local shelters have reported a 30% increase in requests for winter clothing. With your donations, we can ensure that everyone has access to essential warm clothing and the comfort it provides.
What to Donate
We are accepting a variety of items to help those in need. Your contributions truly matter! We are looking for:
Coats: Please donate new or gently used coats in all sizes, from children to adults.
Sweaters & Jackets: Cozy sweaters and jackets are always in demand.
Hoodies: These are a versatile option appreciated by many.
Gloves, Scarves, and Hats: Accessories like these are essential to keep everyone warm during chilly outdoor activities.
Make sure your donations are clean and in good condition. Every item can provide warmth to those who need it.
How to Donate
Getting involved in our coat drive is straightforward! Here’s how you can help out:
Gather Your Items: Look through your closets for warm clothing you no longer need.

Why Your Contribution Matters
Every single donation plays a pivotal role. Picture the relief and happiness on someone's face when they receive a warm coat on a freezing day. Your kindness does not just provide a physical item; it instills hope and encourages community spirit. When people wear donated coats, it reminds us of the collective power we possess to create positive change.
This coat drive is an opportunity for all of us to unite, share kindness, and reflect the spirit of giving. Each coat represents a story of compassion that adds to the fabric of our community.
