United Way Peterborough & Distirct has been running Coats for Community for many years, and every year our community shows up with generosity and heart ❤️.

For the past two years, this program has been run in collaboration with our friends @path_ptbo (Peterborough Action for Tiny Homes).

This video shares a glimpse into how this long-standing program has evolved over the years.

If you’re able, we’re encouraging community members to donate warm winter items to support our neighbours facing the cold months ahead. Blankets, and men’s coats size L - XL are urgently needed at the moment, but every donation helps.

📍Drop off: 385 Lansdowne St E
🗓️ When: Wednesday (10-3) and Saturdays (9-3)
