Help Us Keep Our Community Warm!

We need your help picking coats up from our community station partners! On Friday we need volunteers who are willing to drive to our public and company drop-off centers to pick up coats that have been collected and donated by the community! This can be done in your free time as long as it is done by 5:00 PM on Friday.

Once you are signed up, we will give you a list of addresses and a list of contacts to pick up full boxes of coats. Milage reimbursement will be available if needed.

Go to our website at: https://www.unitedwaylakeshore.org/fill-truck-coat-drive for more information about the coat drive and where you can donate coats! 

Did you know: 

• Children are unable to regulate their body temperatures as adults do; they can quickly develop hypothermia without protection from the cold.

• It only takes 30 minutes to get frostbite as an adult in subzero temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, there were 10 days in Muskegon County that reached these temperatures.

Coats will be going to families facing adversity through our agencies like Mission for Area People, the Salvation Army, HealthWest, Community enCompass, Holton Community Center and more!
