I saw a tweet this morning. A tweeter was asking if there were any organizations in Ottawa that took winter coat donations. I was quick to reply: We do! And so do a lot of other organizations.
So far this fall, many of us have not needed our winter coats. It's been that mild. But if you had to spend the majority of your day outside, you would discover that it's not actually that mild out there. Some of you are maybe upgrading your winter coat this year. Maybe it's just time to replace the one you have. Maybe you want a different style. A new winter coat might be something on your Christmas wish list.
But that winter coat that's getting replaced can still be put to good use. Every year, we hand out winter coats and other winter clothing to men and women who are homeless in Ottawa. We also hand out clothing to people who live in the community who are struggling to make ends meet. If you have to make a choice between a winter jacket or heating your home, you're going to go without a winter jacket. Our clothing program helps homeless people and others living in poverty get the clothing they need.
So if you have a winter coat you would like to donate, please drop by 233 Murray Street. We have a drop-off window at the back of our parking lot. We have staff here who would love to meet you and accept your donation.
For more information on how to donate, please visit our donation page.
