Bring warmth to the community by donating your clean gently used coat to Haliburton’s Algonquin Outfitters for its annual Winter Coat Drive during the month of November.

Customers who donate a coat to the local outdoors clothing retailer (as well as at stores in Bracebridge Huntsville and Oxtongue Lake) while purchasing a new regularly priced winter coat will receive a $50 Algonquin Outfitters gift card for a future purchase.

The gently used coats will be donated to SIRCH Community Services in Haliburton and to the Table in Huntsville.

In an emailed response SIRCH Community Services executive director Gena Robertson said “Algonquin Outfitters has partnered with SIRCH for the past few years to help solicit gently used winter coats. Honestly Share the Warmth wouldn’t be able to provide jackets for so many people in the community without the support of Algonquin Outfitters.”

Share the Warmth is in its fourth year distributing free winter coats and winter wear to families and seniors in need. It had two giveaway days in November with one more to go on Friday Nov. 22 (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) after having two in October.
