CoatsGiving

NFCC's Coat and Thanksgiving Food Drive

Each year, NFCC 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. Previously, these events were held separately. Last year, to make it more convenient for the families we serve, we combined the two events. This year, we’ve renamed the program “CoatsGiving!”

With the support of the community, we provided food for 520 families as well as 1,600 coats and 3,200 winter accessories in 2023. We invite you to join with us and help make Coatsgiving 2024 a blessing to families in need.

November 11-16, 2024
