The idea for a coat drive began when Lara, who works at the community bank in Maldon, bought a new coat. No longer needing her old one, her thoughts turned to those who were struggling, and might need a bit of help keeping warm this winter, and so the Good Coat Drive was born.
People can donate their old winter coats, that are still in good condition, at three collection points across the region.
The coats will be checked over and sent on to Haven Home Safe to distribute them to those who need them most.
The Good Coat Drive is on now until June 30 with collection points at:
Community Bank, Maldon, 81 High Street
Community Bank, Newstead RTC, 45 Lyons Street
Community Bank, Dunolly RTC, 109 Broadway
So if you’ve been putting off sorting through your old winter clothes, then now’s the time!
