Your old winter coat could keep someone warm tonight.

Drop off a warm coat at any participating drop-off location across Calgary. The Calgary Drop-In Centre gets every one to someone who needs it.

16th Annual Coat Drive

October 21, 2026 to January 19, 2027

Donations accepted at all drop-off locations.

Who your coat helps, and why it matters.

Every coat is donated to the Free Goods Program by the Calgary Drop-In Centre. The coats are then dispersed to their clients or shared with over 130 agencies and outreach groups. Your coat reaches the people who need it most.

Why coats?

Calgary winters are long and can drop below −30°C. Many of the clients the Calgary Drop-In serves walk everywhere: to work, to appointments, or to a bed for the night. Coats can wear out, get lost or stolen, and the need starts again every cold season.
