Break out your coats, gently-loved scarves, hats, sweaters, and gloves, encourage friends to join you, and plan on donating them to the Haven’s Winter Wear Drive.
*Please note that the Haven CANNOT accept donations of coats directly due to lack of storage space.*
If you have winter clothing to donate but missed our gathering on Nov. 9, you can bring them to Jonathan Rice at 1144 Meriwether Street until Friday, Nov. 14, at noon. Or you can drop off your winter wear donations at any of the following locations through Sunday, 11/16.
- Random Row Brewery
- Shenandoah Joe Coffee (Preston)
- South Street Brewery
- Three Notch’d Craft Kitchen & Brewery
- Timberwood Grill (Forest Lakes)
- Timberwood Tap House (5th Street Station)
- Charlottesville City Hall
- Carver Recreation Center
After sorting all of the donations received at community drop-off locations, the Haven will co-host an event at Ting Pavilion on Friday, November 21 from 8am-10am, where guests of The Haven and any interested community members can grab the coats and winter accessories they need.
Play Winter Wear BINGO!
On Wednesday, November 19, The Haven, Do Good Cville, and Random Row Brewery will host a Dab for Good BINGO night to celebrate this year’s Winter Wear Drive. The event begins at 5:30pm, and we’ll start calling numbers at 6pm sharp!
Bring a coat OR $5 donation to receive a board (limit one free board per person). Prizes include gift cards and items from area restaurants, breweries, and shops. Proceeds will go to the purchase of larger-sized coats and necessities for The Haven Day Shelter.
Bonus: chat with Haven staff, get swag, learn about other ways to support our work, and enjoy some brews with pals!
Please contact kay@thehaven.org with questions.
