United Way collecting winter coats for the vulnerable in the Kingston area

CTV News Ottawa: A new winter jacket can be a major expense for some, as inflation rates remain at record levels. The United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington is launching its annual campaign to connect new warm coats with community members who could use them.

NEWS RELEASE: Coats for Community drive provides warmth to community this winter

As temperatures drop and winter approaches, many community members rely on donated coats to help them keep warm. United Way KFL&A is encouraging the community to help once again during the third annual coat drive.

United Way’s third annual coat drive aims to bring warmth this winter

This year the United Way KFL&A is holding their third annual coat drive to help many community members keep warm through the colder months.

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.

We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
