The United Way Project Warmth Coat Drive is a winter donation drive that helps provide brand-new coats and winter accessories to families enrolled in United Way’s Dual Generation, Eastside Family Resource Center, Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support (HOPES), Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) and Service Members, Veterans and Families (SMVF) initiatives.
These programs serve families with children ages 0-18. Our goal is to provide 2,000 new coats to the children we serve, so they can enjoy the winter season in warm clothing.
United Way is seeking cold-weather wear donations for families in San Antonio this winter. We currently accept donations through in-person drop-offs, directly on our Project Warmth donation page and through our Wishlist.
