Cincinnati and St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky (SVDP) to partner once again to launch the 25th Annual Winter Coat Drive, beginning on October 13. For a quarter century, SVDP has provided tens of thousands of winter coats to our neighbors in need, including nearly 5,000 last year alone.
“Each day, we hear from families who are doing everything they can to make ends meet,” said Brad McMonigle, CEO of St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati. “When parents are choosing between paying rent, keeping the heat on, or putting food on the table, there’s often nothing left for winter coats. Donating a coat is a simple act that brings immediate warmth and comfort and it reminds our neighbors that they’re not alone.”
New and gently used coats can be dropped off at all SVDP Thrift Stores in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, or at SVDP Winter Coat Collection Bins at select locations until January 31.
Donations can also be made at Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning and Electric or at any Boot Country/Work Country location through Christmas…
