Have an old winter coat staring at you from the back of your closet? Give it a new life by donating it to Helpmate’s coat drive. The nonprofit, which provides resources to people experiencing intimate partner domestic violence, is helping outfit our community with cozy, cold-weather clothing.
Beginning today, Wednesday, Nov. 1 through Saturday, Nov. 18, you can drop off your gently used coats, gloves, and hats at locations throughout Asheville — Helpmate just requests that your donations be warm, clean, and in good condition.
Here’s where you can take your items:
- Family Justice Center, 35 Woodfin St.
- Hatchett Goods, 96 Weaverville Rd., Ste. 107
- Mountain Intaglio, 96 Weaverville Rd., Ste. 108
- Tiny Threads Children’s Resale, 96 Weaverville Rd., Ste. 106
Pro tip: You get a 15% discount on a purchase if you donate a coat. - Trade and Lore, 37 Wall St.
