"WARM COATS FOR WINTER" ANNUAL COAT DRIVE October 16, 2007 – December 7, 2007 Information for Organizations Seeking Coats

Participation in the Warm Coats for Winter coat drive is open to nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations, churches, town social service departments, schools, and community groups that serve people in need within United Way of the Capital Area’s 40-town service area.

Registering your coat request is a simple process that will take only a few minutes of your time. Listings that you submit to United Way will be reviewed and posted the same or next business day.  While United Way will actively promote the coat drive, there can be no guarantee that your organization will receive coats through the program. For this reason, you are strongly encouraged to register your needs as soon as possible in order to reach the most potential donors.

To register your coat request, your organization must be registered on United Way of the Capital Area’s Volunteer Solutions. (Volunteer Solutions is United Way’s database of live volunteer opportunities.) If your organization is already registered, please click here for step-by-step instructions for requesting coats.  If your organization is not already registered, please click here for step-by-step instructions to register and request coats.
