Matthew 25 reminds us “I needed clothes and you clothed me”.

Join Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of the Washington for our ninth annual Coats of Many Colors Coat Drive! Each year we provide coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to members of our local community. We will collect new and gently used coats that are clean and in good condition from November 2021 until December 2021. We politely ask that you wash all coats before donating. Keep reading for more information on where and when to donate coats and where and when to receive coats.
