Olmsted County residents who need a winter coat can register for free winter outerwear by calling 507-287-1958 until October 5, 2012 at 5pm. Winter outerwear will be distributed October 18 & 19 at United Way.
Collect winter outerwear
We already have over 2,500 individuals registered to receive winter coats and our goal is to provide a winter coat to everyone who has registered. Our greatest need is for boys’ and girls’ youth sizes 6-16. We can only succeed in this goal with the involvement of all of our community! Please consider donating new or gently used winter coats that have gone unworn for a winter or two, that don’t fit just right, or that you have replaced.
There are two ways you can help with our winter coat collection effort. Check out the complete list of Drive and Drop Site partners at www.uwolmsted.org to see where you can drop off your winter items from now until October 12th. If your items need dry cleaning or washed, please drop them off at any Dison’s Cleaners locations. Dison’s provides in kind coat cleaning for this initiative as well as a 20% off coupon for a future dry cleaning. The second way you can donate your new or gently used winter outerwear items is at our Fill The Trucks event on Friday October 12th (3-6 p.m.) and Saturday October 13th (9a.m. – 3 p.m.) at all three Hy-Vee Food Stores of Rochester.
If you are an individual, business, organization, or community group interested in collecting winter outerwear, go to www.uwolmsted.org/winterouterwear or call Renee Schaefer at 535-5517 for more information.
Cash donations
Cash or check donations are being accepted at United Way of Olmsted County and should be designated to the Community Winter Outerwear Drive fund. Donations are used to provide winter outerwear items for individuals who do not receive winter outerwear because of limited availability of appropriate donated items.
Volunteer to distribute winter outerwear
We need over 400 volunteers to help with sorting and distribution of items to individuals and families October 8-19. Volunteer opportunities can be viewed at: www.uwolmsted.org/winterouterwear.
For more information on how to help, call Renee Schaefer or Becky Nahvi at United Way of Olmsted County, 507-287-2000.
