Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Warm a Child.

Your gently used winter coat can make a big difference. When your family outgrows a coat, donate it to help keep a local child warm.

Together, our community provides coats, hats, gloves, and winter essentials to children and families throughout Hamilton County.

What Can I Donate?

We accept:

🧥 Coats (infant through adult 5XL)
🧤 Brand new gloves & mittens
🧢 Brand new hats

Please donate items that are clean, gently used or new. All donations are distributed directly to children and families in our community.

Please Note: We ask donors not to purchase items from Goodwill, as many families we serve rely on those resources. If you would like to purchase items to donate, consider garage sales or end-of-season sales.
