SUMMARY:Winter Coat Drive
DESCRIPTION:Coat Boston\, a Lexington-based nonprofit program providing new winter coats and accessories to Boston families in need\, will hold its annual coat drive from September 15 through November 8\, 2026. \nWorking in partnership with Boston Public Schools and Boston social service organizations\, Coat Boston distributes new winter coats\, hats\, and mittens to children and adults in underserved communities. The program operates from space provided by Hancock Church in Lexington. \nLast year\, Coat Boston distributed 2\,700 new coats and winter accessories. This year\, the organization hopes to collect 3\,000 coats as families face increasing economic challenges and the need for winter clothing continues to grow. \nCoat Boston was established in 2009 by City Mission Society of Boston and moved to Lexington four years ago after City Mission permanently closed. The program has continued its mission with the support of volunteers\, donors and community partners. \nCommunity members can help by donating new coats and winter accessories through November 8. Donations may be dropped off at Coat Boston\, 1912 Massachusetts Avenue\, Lexington. Information about the coat drive\, additional ways to donate and Coat Boston’s work is available at coatboston.org

SUMMARY:Art For All: pick-your-price sale at LexArt supports immigrant women
DESCRIPTION:Art For All\, a “pick your price” art sale\, comes to the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society. All money raised goes directly to the Association of Haitian Women in Boston (AFAB)\, which supports immigrant women affected by the federal termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). \nLocal artists have donated original work to the cause. Buyers will be told each piece’s value as set by the artist\, then choose how much to pay. “The art you get is basically a thank you gift for your generous donation\,” said organizer Jeremy Fischer\, founder of Boston For All. \nPrevious Boston For All sales have raised more than $120\,000 for organizations working on abortion access\, housing justice and immigration justice. \nMore information: bostonforall.com
