Coats for Community

The fourth annual Coats for Community donation drive runs from October 23 – November 13, 2023 

As you begin to change over closets for the winter, community members are asked to  please donate clean, new or gently used winter adult outerwear. The only requirement is that coats must be washable (no leather or heavy wool).

In 2022, over 1,300 coats, snowsuits and warm clothing items were donated to keep community members warm.

As donations are received, volunteers will sort and distribute coats to agencies throughout KFL&A

Monetary donations are also needed to help United Way purchase larger sized coats and fill in the gaps. Please give if you can – thank you for your local love and support.
