The 2020 Winter Coat Drive is underway in Muskoka.
Over the last 8 years, the effort’s collected used winter clothes to support residents in need during winter.
The effort is a partnership between the District, the Rotary Club of Bracebridge-Muskoka Lakes and Fabricare Cleaning Centre.
Coat donations will be accepted at Fabricare Cleaning Centres across Muskoka from now until Friday, November 20th.
“We are so pleased that despite COVID-19 restrictions in place this year, the Rotary Club of Bracebridge-Muskoka Lakes and Fabricare Cleaning Centre can work together to deliver the 2020 coat drive,” says District Chair John Klinck. “Our community is so fortunate to have volunteers with such drive and passion to help our most vulnerable population. A sincere thank-you to all those involved in the planning, organizing, and delivery of this drive and to those who can donate coats to this much-needed initiative”.
Due to Covid-19 concerns, boots, mitts and hats can’t be accepted this year.
All donated coats must also be inside a plastic bag.
