2023 Coats for our Community Drive

With your generous support, in 2022 we were able to distribute over 1,650 coats to those in need to keep warm though the winter.

We know the need will be even greater this year so, when you are changing over your closets this year, put aside any un-used jackets, snowpants or coats to donate on October 28-29, 2023 to our annual community drive!

United way Peterborough staff and volunteers will be set up in the parking lot of Vinnies in Peterborough on Saturday and Lakefield on Sunday to collect your donations for both adults and youth!

We want to send a special thank you to St. Vincent De Paul Store Peterborough and Lakefield for sharing their space for collection AND being the first donors with cartloads of warm winter coats- Global Point Logistics for their amazing storage facility and truck rental and Murray Street Baptist Church for donating their beautiful and central space for us to set up our distribution. We truly live in a generous community!
