2026 Winter Clothing Drive

Help Keep Chicagoans Warm This Winter 

As temperatures drop, access to warm clothing and other winter essentials can make a meaningful difference for people experiencing homelessness. 

Through the months of October and November, the All Chicago Associate Board is collecting new winter clothing and essential supplies to help our neighbors stay warm throughout the winter. Whether you donate an item, make a financial contribution, or host a collection box, your support can help provide warmth and comfort when it’s needed most. 

Four Ways to Get Involved

1. Shop Our Amazon Wishlist

Make an easy, direct contribution by purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist. Winter coats and jackets are especially needed, but every donation helps.

2. Make a Monetary Donation
