Why Coats & Socks Matter
Coats and socks are essential, yet they’re often the most under-donated items during the colder months.
By focusing on these basics, we ensure people have what they need to stay warm and healthy in winter weather.
Your contribution—large or small—makes a direct, immediate impact.
How to Participate
- Gather items: Clean, gently worn coats and brand-new socks (all sizes welcome).
- Drop off: Bring your donations to your nearest Guardian Storage location throughout November.
- Share the word: Tell friends, family, coworkers, and community groups to participate.
Community Partners
This drive is powered by community collaboration. With the support of Knock Knock Give a Sock and local shelter partners,
we connect donations to the places they’re needed most. Together, we’re making it easier for neighbors to help neighbors.
Donation Guidelines
- Coats: New or gently worn, clean, no major tears or missing zippers.
- Socks: New only, in original packaging when possible.
- Sizes: Infant, youth, and adult sizes are all appreciated.
- Packaging: If possible, place items in a bag or box labeled “Coat & Sock Drive.”
