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
