As the cold weather set in, so did the warmth of our community’s generosity. We want to extend our deepest thanks to every individual, family, and organization who donated to our Winter Coat Drive. Because of your kindness, hundreds of neighbors were able to stay warm, safe, and protected during the harshest months of the year.

From  jackets and winter gear to boots, gloves, hats, and scarves—your donations made a real difference. Each coat you gave represented more than just warmth; it was a gesture of care, solidarity, and hope for those who needed it most.

Thanks to your contributions:

• We distributed 858 coats and cold-weather items to children, adults, and seniors in need.

• Families facing financial hardship were able to focus on other basic needs, knowing their loved ones had the clothing needed to endure winter.

• We strengthened community bonds by showing what’s possible when we come together with compassion and purpose.

This coat drive was a true reflection of the power of collective giving. Whether you donated, helped spread the word, or volunteered your time—thank you for being part of this effort. Your generosity brought real warmth to real people.

We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up for one another. Thank you for making a difference.

With gratitude,

Pillsbury United Communities
