This drive through donation event is sponsored by the Schmidt Group Re/Max Results, Two Men and a Truck, Minuteman Press, and KIMT News 3. 

Stop by the Two Men and a Truck truck when you see it parked in the Hy-Vee Barlow parking lot on Saturday, October 7th, from 9am-5pm. 

Please consider donating heavy winter coats, boots, mittens, and gloves for both children and adults. Only heavy and warm winter gear will be distributed at The Salvation Army later that week to families and individuals in need.

There is no need to schedule an appointment to donate or to receive winter outerwear.

Coats from the 6th Annual Community Coat Drive will be distributed on Tuesday, October 10th. Coats for individual adults will be distributed from 9am-Noon, and coats for families with children will be distributed from 2-6:30pm. 

If you have children in need of coats, you will need to bring those children with you in order to receive coats for them. Please call 507-288-3663 ext. 3812 with any questions about the coat distribution. 

Volunteers are needed during these hours. Please call 507-288-3663 ext. 3802 or email Rebecca.Snapp@usc.SalvationArmy.org to sign up to volunteer. 

Please call 507-288-3663 ext. 3812 with any questions about receiving a coat this year.
