Don’t let the warmer weather fool you….Winter is coming!

Through the help of our community ClothingWorks and Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes will be giving away lightly used Winter coats and accessories to anyone in need. No questions asked, no registration…just first come, first serve.

We are proud to invite you to the Winter Coat & Accessories Giveaway Days on Friday, October 24 and Saturday, October 25 from 9am – 4pm at YWCA located at 16 Mary Street West.

Last year we were able to serve 400 visitors in just 2 days and we hope to do the same again this year. Please bring a bag to take your items home and your patience as there will be a line up outside as a handful of visitors will be let in at a time to ensure there is enough space for everyone when looking through the products.

Special thank you to the many ClothingWorks for their master organization skills, each Goodwill location who have been collecting and sorting items since August and the hundreds of donors who are helping keep our community warm this Winter.
