2026 Coat Drive — Partnership Call
Help Us Put Warmth Into the Hands of Children Who Need It Most.
Transforming Lives & Restoring Hope, Inc. is preparing for our 2026 Annual Coat Drive, and we are currently seeking nonprofit organizations and community agencies interested in partnering with us to distribute new children’s coats to families in their communities.
Each year, through our partnership with the Burlington Coat Drive, we receive new coats for children and work with trusted community organizations to help ensure those coats reach children who need them.
For our 2026 distribution, we anticipate receiving children’s coats ranging from approximately 18 months through size 16, with distribution expected to begin in November.
We know that our impact grows when we work together. Your organization already knows the families you serve, understands the needs within your community, and has relationships that we could never build from a distance. We provide the coats; our partners help us extend the reach.
We are especially interested in partnering with nonprofit and community-based organizations serving children and families in North Carolina and Virginia.
Partnership organizations should be prepared to assist with receiving and distributing coats, ensure that all donated coats are provided to families and never sold, and help us document the impact of the campaign through photographs and/or recipient stories when appropriate. Additional partnership requirements and distribution details will be provided to selected organizations.
Interested in becoming a 2026 Coat Drive Partner?
Let us know! We will be connecting with interested organizations as we prepare for our November distribution.
Together, we can do more than distribute coats. We can wrap children in warmth, strengthen communities, and remind families that someone cares.
One coat. One child. One community at a time.
