THANK YOU, Charlotte, for your incredible support! ❤️

The final count is IN, and we’re thrilled to report that, with your help, during this year’s 704 Coat Drive we collected 3,646 new and gently used coats for children, women and men served by The Salvation Army of Greater Charlotte.

THANK YOU to all of you who contributed to helping us warm our 704 neighbors together. Your generosity truly warms our hearts and provides a huge boost of hope to those in need. 🧥❤️

To you, it might just be the coat your son or daughter outgrew last year.

But to a working mom struggling to make ends meet, it’s the relief of not having to choose between keeping her child warm or buying food to feed her family.

Have outgrown coats in like-new or nearly new condition? Donate them to our neighbors in need through the 704 Coat Drive presented by Charlotte Mechanical: https://bit.ly/zip-up-day-2021.

THANK YOU to this week’s featured drop-off partners: FedEx Ground, First National Bank, Metro 808: Urban Living. Perfected., Microsoft, Regency Women of the Palisades and Crosland Southeast.
