The first thing you’ll want to do before donating coats or blankets is to make sure they are clean, gently used, and in good repair. The best donations are winter coats, blankets, sleeping bags, warm hats, gloves, socks, and boots, as well as items that keep people warm. Nobody wants items that are torn, stained, or heavily worn. Some organizations require you to wash everything first.

Bag donations carefully. Neatly fold and label items (men’s coats in one bag, blankets in another). This helps volunteers sort through your donation quickly and speeds up matching these items with those who need them right now.

Safety, Verification & “Right Now” Notes

Planning a large drop-off of items? It is a good idea to call ahead. Make sure the place you are headed to will accept your donation before you load up the car. Sometimes, a temporary coat/blanket drive, often organized by churches and community groups, is organized out of the blue. Treat these like pop-up donation points. Verify their posted dates and drop-off times, and it’s always nice to ask whether they need volunteers during the winter months.
