We can’t wait to see you all this Saturday, November 7th at PATH @path_ptbo 385 Lansdowne St East for our Coats for Community… and More! collection. 

Volunteers will be accepting donations from 10 am - 2 pm! Mark your calendars!

🎥 @ftlom.inc
Have a winter coat, a warm sweater or a pair of boots you no longer need? Put them to good use! 🧥

Next Saturday, November 7, we're inviting the community to come together and donate to Coats for Community... and More!

Drop off new or gently used winter clothing, coats, footwear and seasonal essentials at PATH (385 Lansdowne St E) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Your donations will help make sure our neighbours have the essentials they need to stay warm this winter.

Take a look through your closets, ask a friend or neighbour to do the same, and bring what you can. Every donation helps, and together, we can make a real difference for people in our community.

📍 PATH – 385 Lansdowne Street East
📅 Saturday, November 7 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
