REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

You can make a real difference in someone’s life. When you outgrow last year’s winter coat, please wash it and donate it. Your generosity is at the heart of our success.

Invite your friends, family, and coworkers to join you in collecting coats. Together, small acts of kindness add up to a meaningful impact and help keep others warm throughout the winter.

We welcome all sizes from infant through adult 5XL. Please collect clean, gently used coats as well as mittens, gloves, and hats. These items are distributed directly to children and families in Hamilton County.

We kindly ask donors not to purchase items from Goodwill, since many of the families we serve shop there and rely on that inventory. If you would like to purchase coats or winter wear to donate, garage sales and end-of-season sales are great options.

Looking to make an even bigger impact? Hosting a coat drive is simple and meaningful. We provide everything you need to get started below.
