Share The Warmth, Donate A Coat: 4th Annual Douglass Park Coat Drive

The Riot Fest Foundation is joining forces with the Douglass Park Advisory Council once again for the 4th annual Let’s Share The Warmth Coat Drive. Starting November 22nd, we’ll be accepting new and gently used coats for children and adults, as well as gloves, hats, and scarves. The coat drive ends January 4th.

If you’d like to donate a new coat, or have a gently used coat at home that you’re not using, you can make the winter a little better for someone in need. Plus, it feels pretty good to do nice things for people. New or gently used winter items—coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and other winter accessories—are accepted, in both child and adult sizes for all ages.

Coats distributed to the Douglass Park community.

Donations can be dropped off at one of our designated drop off locations below:
