When
a coat is no longer needed, make sure you make an effort to pass
it on to someone in need. The value of a warm coat on a bitter
cold day is a priceless gift.
Organize a coat drive in your area or start a competition within
your group. You can set up boxes at banks, schools, libraries,
and other local areas.
Be sure to get permission from the facility prior to collecting
coats there.
Donate coats to your local homeless shelter, women's shelter,
assisted living, orphanages etc.
Please contact them ahead of time to get a list of their needs
prior to collecting coats. Don't forget to reward everyone with
this laser cut patch for their efforts of collecting coats for
those in need.
