COAT, JACKET, SNOW PANTS, AND BOOT DRIVES
Beginning in the early fall, the collection of winter apparel is a great benefit to dozens, if not hundreds, of needy individuals. Those who sponsor this type of drive often find that many are very happy to have a good place to donate their outgrown and/or excess winter apparel. Sizes needed include everything from 3 Toddler through Adult Large and Extra Large. The following warm items are needed.

  • Coats, jackets, hooded sweatshirts, snow pants, boots, and other winter apparel.
  • Hats, scarves, and mittens can also be collected along with the coats and boots, or a separate drive can be done. Review the following "Hat, Scarf, and Mitten Drive" information.
  • New and gently used items are requested. Please clean and repair used items.

Please call the Love INC office when your drive has ended for instructions as to the best place to deliver your collected items.
IDEA! -- SOME GROUPS/ENTIRE CHURCHES HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH THE "COAT, JACKET, SNOW PANTS, AND BOOT DRIVE" BY PLACING ONE, TWO, OR THREE VERY LARGE BOXES IN A VISIBLE PLACE IN THEIR CHURCH. EVERYONE STRIVES TO FILL THOSE BOXES TO THE BRIM AND MORE. THE BOXES SERVE AS A HELPFUL VISUAL REMINDER AS WELL.
HAT, SCARF, AND MITTEN DRIVES
Beginning in the early fall, the collection of winter apparel is a great benefit to hundreds of needy individuals.

  • Warm hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves.
  • These items are best if they are new and can either be purchased or handmade.
  • Coats, jackets, snow pants, and boots can also be collected along with the hats, scarves, and mittens, or a separate drive can be done. Review the previous "Coat, Jacket, Snow Pants, and Boot Drive" information.

Please call the Love INC office when your drive has ended for instructions as to the best place to deliver your collected items.
NOTE: Love INC COLLECTS YARN YEAR AROUND FROM MANY DONORS. THE YARN IS SHARED WITH MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO LIKE TO KEEP THEIR HANDS BUSY KNITTING AND CROCHETING. HUNDREDS OF HATS, MITTENS, SCARVES, AND OTHER ITEMS ARE SUPPLIED IN THIS WAY.
IDEA! -- CHURCH COULD EVEN DO A DRIVE FOR YARN. BRING THE RESULTS OF THE DRIVE TO THE LOVE OFFICE AND THEN LOVE WOULD PASS THE YARN ON TO THE KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS.
What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? - Matthew 16:26
