It is once again time for our annual Merv Crouse’s Coats for Kids campaign!

If you’re pulling out winter bins and finding jackets or snow gear your family has outgrown, we’d love to take them off your hands. Drop off your gently used winter wear at our shop anytime between October 1 and October 31. Our team cleans every single piece so it’s fresh, warm, and ready for local families.

What we can take: • Winter coats and snowsuits • Ski and snow pants • Toques, scarves, gloves, and mittens
(All sizes welcome, with a special focus on kids)

A quick note on what we cannot accept:
Boots, wool/leather/suede, or items that are torn or broken.

Everything collected will be cleaned by our crew and handed out free of charge through the Grande Prairie Family Education Society (9607-102 St) between October 15 and November 13.

Thank you for helping us keep our community warm this winter!
