Coats for Kids and Other Folks Coat Drive

Warms Hearts and Backs!

As the crisp fall air rolls in, North Highland United Methodist Church invites the community to come together and share the warmth — literally — during its annual Coat Drive for Kids and Adults.

The Coats for Kids and other folks coat drive kicks off on Saturday, September 26 with a float in the parade! Help spread the word and warmth in the Aberdeen area.

From September 26 through October 26, 2026, the church will be collecting new and gently loved winter coats for people of all ages. Whether it’s a tiny toddler puffer or a cozy adult parka, every donation makes a difference.

Drop-off locations include:

  • North Highland UMC
  • Drop boxes can be found at the following participating local businesses (beginning September 27): Ken's, Kessler's, Red Rooster, Aberdeen Federal Credit Union, Healthcare Plus FCU, Dakotaland FCU, Plymouth Congregational, Aldersgate.

The Big Giveaway:
Coats will be distributed on Saturday, October 31 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at North Highland UMC. Everyone is welcome — Come for warmth and kindness.

Winter shouldn't be a burden. With a little help from our neighbors, we can make sure no one has to face the cold alone. One coat can make a big difference.

So, clean out your closets, check your coat racks, and spread the word. Your unused coat could be someone’s only shield against the chill.
