Together, We Can Bring Warmth to Every Heart

As the temperatures drop, many local children and families in California’s Central Valley face the cold without proper jackets or winter clothes.

This October, Hand-Me-Down Blessings invites our community to join the “Warm Hearts, Warm Coats” Drive — a month-long effort to collect gently used and new coats, sweaters, hats, scarves, and gloves before the holidays.

What We’re Collecting

Children’s coats (all sizes)
Adult jackets and hoodies
Warm pajamas and sweatpants
Hats, scarves, and gloves
New socks and blankets

Why It Matters

For some children, a warm coat is the difference between staying home or being able to attend school comfortably.

Every donated item helps ensure our neighbors can face the winter season with dignity, warmth, and hope.

Your generosity helps Hand-Me-Down Blessings continue to mirror the heart of the early church — sharing resources so that no one in our community goes without.

How You Can Help

Donate Warm Clothing: Clean, gently used, or new winter wear.
Host a Mini-Drive: Partner with your school, church, or workplace.
