CoatsGiving

NFCC's Coat and Thanksgiving Food Drive

Thank you to everyone who supported our CoatsGiving program in 2024. Together with the community, we served more than 1,900 local adults and children in need.

Our annual CoatsGiving program relies on our generous community to provide our neighbors in need with new or gently-used coats, gloves, scarves, socks and hats and all of the ingredients to cook a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at home.

Shopping is not the only way to help provide outerwear and Thanksgiving food for a family in need. Make a financial donation to help a family prepare for cold weather and holiday season.
