Coats for
Community
The annual Coats for Community donation drive runs from October 26 – November 18, 2024
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 2023, over 1,300 coats 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 coats of all sizes and fill in the gaps. Please give if you can – thank you for your local love and support.

Items will be sorted by volunteers and then distributed through the following agencies:
“Winter coats can be costly. If you are living on a fixed income or in poverty, then it is nearly impossible to buy a new coat. Every year we have a lot of the people we serve reach out to us because they don’t have a warm coat to wear. The United Way coat drive allows this wonderful community to donate their gently used coats and our clients to stay warm in winter.”
