Help Us Keep Our Communities Warm This Winter!
The Children’s Breakfast Clubs – Annual Winter Coat Drive 2026
October 5, 2026 – April 4, 2027
As the colder months approach, many children and families in our communities face the challenge of accessing warm winter clothing. A winter coat, a pair of gloves or warm boots can make a meaningful difference in helping someone stay comfortable and protected throughout the season.
The Children’s Breakfast Clubs is pleased to launch our Annual Winter Coat Drive, running from October 5, 2026 to April 4, 2027. We are bringing together individuals, families, businesses and community partners to collect essential winter clothing and accessories for those in need.
We invite you to join us in spreading warmth and kindness by donating new or gently used winter essentials. Every contribution helps make a difference!
What We’re Collecting
We welcome donations of clean, gently used or new winter items, including:
- Winter coats (children and adults)
- Gloves and mittens (all sizes)
- Scarves and toques
- Winter boots (children and adults)
- New socks only (all sizes)
Every item donated helps someone stay warm and comfortable during the winter months.

Why Your Donation Matters
Having access to warm winter clothing is essential, yet not every child or family has the resources to purchase the items they need.
Through the generosity of our donors, volunteers and community partners, we help ensure that children and families have access to warm coats, boots and other winter essentials so they can stay comfortable and enjoy the season.
A warm coat is more than just a piece of clothing. It is a simple but meaningful way to show someone that their community cares.
Get Involved and Make a Difference!
There are many ways to take part in our Winter Coat Drive. Donate new or gently used items, organize a collection at your workplace, encourage friends and family to participate, or simply help spread the word.
Every donation counts, and together, we can make a meaningful difference for children and families in our communities.
Let’s come together to share the warmth and ensure no child or family has to face the winter cold without the essentials they need!
