Gloucester Fire Department is helping us KEEP GLOUCESTER WARM!

Our 4th Annual Operation Keep Gloucester Warm coat drive is in full swing, and our community continues to show up in a BIG way!

A huge THANK YOU to the Gloucester Fire Department for supporting our mission and to everyone who has donated jackets and winter gear to help keep their neighbors warm this winter.

Every jacket shared is one more neighbor ready for the cold weather ahead. That’s what community is all about!

📸 Now it’s YOUR turn! We want to see those collection boxes! If your office, business, or organization is hosting a box, snap a photo of your team and your donations and share it with us!

Let’s show everyone what happens when Gloucester comes together for its neighbors.

Have a coat? Share the warmth! Collection box locations can be found in the comments.

We had such a great response from volunteers willing to pick up coat donations and help sort everything by size. It means so much to see people step up and offer their time to help our community!

We’re all set for now, but stay tuned! There will be more opportunities to get involved as we get closer to our 4th Annual Keep Gloucester Warm Coat Drive & Distribution Day. ❤️

Yesterday's Art of Lunch for Grace Center of Gloucester was generously provided by Minglewood Harborside and Chef Todd featuring pulled chicken and coleslaw sandwiches, pasta salad, and fresh fruit salad.

Delicious food and a little extra care served up with love!

A community effort to Keep Gloucester Warm!

Thank you to all the businesses and municipal offices listed here for hosting collection boxes for Together Gloucester’s 4th annual Operation Keep Gloucester Warm. By making it easy for neighbors to donate, you help turn the generosity of our community into warmth for others. We couldn’t do this without you!

Our hosts are collecting new and gently used, wearable coats and winter gear through mid-November. Please stop by a collection site, drop off what you can, and join us in thanking the people making this effort possible.

Last year, we gave out over 700 jackets. After a season of extreme weather, we need to stock up again, and your donations help make the magic happen.

ALL are welcome at our distribution event at Trinity Church on December 5th.

WOW, Gloucester! What a way to kick things off!

Our very first collection pickup for this year’s Operation Keep Gloucester Warm was at the Cape Ann YMCA, and just look at this!

A HUGE thank you to the YMCA patrons who have already stepped up to help keep our neighbors warm. Your generosity has set an incredible tone for this year’s effort!

We’re just getting started, and if this first pickup is any indication, our community is ready to make a BIG difference!

Thank you, Cape Ann YMCA, for being part of something special!
