Spreading Warmth Across the State: NH United Ways 2025 Winter Coat Drive

Spreading Warmth Across the State: NH United Ways 2025 Winter Coat Drive
Donate new or like-new coats to help keep New Hampshire families warm this winter.
Every year across New Hampshire, many families, seniors, and children face the harsh winter months without adequate warm clothing. The cold weather can be particularly dangerous for those who cannot afford new coats or winter gear. Granite United Way, United Way of Greater Nashua and Monadnock United Way are partnering to ensure that new and gently used coats are distributed across the state of New Hampshire to those most in need.
This year's coat drive will be held September 29th through October 31st to ensure everyone has coats by the Thanksgiving holiday. *Please do not donate any leather or suede jackets.
