Help Keep Children and Families Warm this Winter

The 23rd annual Warners’ Warm-up Coat Drive will be held from Oct. 23 – Nov. 5. First Things First, Kurt & Brenda Warner, and Operation Food Search are asking for support from the greater St. Louis community with the donation of new and gently-used winter coats of all shapes and sizes for bi-state residents in need. There are more than 100 drop-off locations throughout the region.

What started in 2001 as a one-day drive prior to a St. Louis Rams game has turned into an annual event with approximately 10,000 coats collected each year. OFS distributes the coats collected to our network of schools, shelters and social service centers. To date, approximately 290,000 coats have been distributed in the St. Louis area.
