COAT GIVE

In our first year we gave out over 100 coats and had requests for many more. In our second year, 2023, we gave out 350 coats! We collect new and gently used coats at drop-off locations around the township including all six Lower Merion libraries, retail stores, hair salons and fitness centers. We fulfill coat orders from guests at local food pantries, after school programs, churches, schools, and from members of the community who reach out to us directly. We also set up free pop-up shops where anyone can come select a coat for themselves and family members.
