About the BH Coat Drive
The Backyard Humanitarian Coat Drive is an annual community-wide, volunteer effort run by Backyard Humanitarian.
Our goal is to collect warm coats of all sizes that are new or like new, warm, clean, and ready to wear. Then, give to anyone who needs one for free.
The BH Coat Drive idea came about on an extremely hot summer day in 2010 and we had our first drive that winter!
We just completed our 9th year and we are proud to have delivered over 9,000 coats.
BH Coat Drive Calendar
Each year we aim to start collecting on November 1st and finish collecting by December 15th. The collection dates are flexible and are often extended due to the different conditions, needs, volunteer availability and the weather. Coats are given out right away.
Though we officially start accepting coats on November 1st, you can begin collecting at anytime. Partners can join anytime and are encouraged to register so we can connect, list partners on our website, coordinate, advertise public collection locations and estimate supplies.
Each year we need a headquarters location that we can use for the length of the coat drive. If you know of an available space (small office) that we can use for the fall /winter of 2019, please let us know.
