Winter Coat Giveaway

Winter weather in Nebraska can bring hardships to the homeless, but once again a familiar organization is stepping in to bring some warmth and relief from the cold to those who need it most. During the month of October, all four Lincoln YMCA locations will be participating in a coat drive to benefit People’s City Mission. In just three years, over 8,500 coats have been collected thanks to the generosity of YMCA members and the Lincoln community at large. 

“Nebraska winters can be especially challenging for those experiencing homelessness, and once again, we are committed to providing support through our annual coat drive,” shared Renee Yost, President & CEO of the Lincoln YMCA. “This effort is a testament to the strength and compassion of our community, and we are proud to partner once more with People’s City Mission to make a meaningful difference.”

The coat distribution will take place at PCM’s Help Center starting at 10:30am on Friday, November 8.
