Wrapped In Love: Trinity Gives Coat Drive
From October 1–31, we are collecting brand-new winter coats for kids of all ages and sizes. We’re aiming to collect 100 coats this year, and as of October 20th we have over 30! With just 11 days left, we know we can reach our goal together but we need your help to make this year’s drive our biggest yet and share warmth, love, and hope with kids across our community!
We could really use coats in sizes 8 through teen, but we’re happy to accept any size! Short on time? No worries—our awesome shopper team can use your donation to purchase coats on your behalf.
Drop offs may be done at Trinity Episcopal Church (91 Church Street, Seymour) during office hours Mon-Tue: 9am-1pm, or during church services Sun: 8am-noon. Questions? Call 203-888-6596.
The coats will be blessed on All Saints Sunday, November 2, before being collected by Marian Russo from the Connecticut Alliance of Foster and Adoptive Families (CAFAF) and distributed to children in need.
Upcoming Events
Imagine a child who has never owned a new coat. A child who, if they even have a coat, only gets hand-me-downs or second-hands.
Now imagine how that child must feel when they get their first brand new coat. Just their own. It's magical. That is a story, more real than you would know, that happens more than we wish and that inspires us to collect coats each year to give to children in need.
Trinity Gives is on a mission this year to collect 100 brand new coats for children from infants to teens to donate to the Connecticut Alliance of Foster and Adoptive Families. To make that happen we need your help. We would like to collect coats for younger children and coats or warm fleeces for teens. You may drop off your gifts at either of our Sunday services or during office hours. Email or call the office with questions.
** All coats must be collected by October 25th for a blessing on October 30th at 10am. Let's get shopping Trinity!**
