Where can I donate coats?

🧥 Where to donate coats

A warm coat is one of the most needed items each winter. Coat drives run by schools, churches and businesses collect them in the fall and pass them straight to people in need.

Before you go

Give coats in the fall, before the cold arrives, when drives are collecting.
Coats should be clean and wearable, with working zippers and buttons.
Children's coats are often in short supply.
Hats, gloves and scarves are welcome at many drives too.
