As the chilly winter months settle in, it’s more important than ever to support families in need. The Department of Public Health and Puentes de Salud are hosting a Winter Coat Drive to collect coats for those in need in South Philadelphia. This is a wonderful opportunity for Philly moms to spread kindness and teach their kids the importance of giving back.
The coat drive is accepting new and gently used coats that meet the following requirements:
Drop-off location:
Puentes de Salud
1700 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146
Drop-off hours:
Donations will be accepted until December 20, 2024.
At Mackenzie Madison of Philadelphia, we’re proud to support this initiative by donating five coats this season. We believe in coming together as a community to support one another, especially during the colder months.
Winter can be a tough time for many families, and a warm coat can make a big difference. Participating in this coat drive is a meaningful way to give back while involving your kids in a hands-on act of kindness. It’s a chance to teach them about empathy and the power of community.
Let’s make this winter warmer for everyone. Gather up your gently used coats and head to Puentes de Salud to drop them off! Together, we can spread warmth and love throughout South Philly.
