Warm Hearts, Cozy Coats — 2026
Every winter, families in our community face the cold without a coat that fits. Warm Hearts, Cozy Coats gathers new and gently used coats for children and babies, then hands them out at a community distribution day.

Why it matters
Warmth is an essential.
A coat is a small thing that changes a winter. Warm Hearts, Cozy Coats is the same work we do all year, in its coldest form — it sits alongside our Baby Bundles, life skills training and early childhood programs.
​
The purpose of the coat driveWhen you give a coat, you are not supporting a one-off event. You are standing with a family that is already carrying more than they should.
Give a coat. Receive a coat.
Both sides of the drive are simple, and both run on the same promise: dignity, no paperwork maze, no judgment.
Donate a coat
We gather new and gently used coats for children and babies.
Ship coats to Bee’s Babies Essentials, Inc., 10530 Campus Way South #1230, Largo, Maryland 20774.
Drop-off locations, scheduled pick-ups and online purchase are coming soon — call or email and we will arrange it
Coats given outside the campaign window are held and prepared for the next drive — the need does not end in October.
Receive a coat
Coats are handed out to local families at a community distribution day.
Distribution details are shared directly with registered families — never published as a placeholder.
If you missed distribution day, contact us. We match remaining coats with families while they last.
Winter essentials sit alongside our Baby Bundles — ask about both in one message.Ask about a coat
Give any time
Financial gifts to the coat drive are made through our secure giving form and are applied to coats, distribution and the winter essentials that go with them. Coat donations can be shipped to our Largo address at any point in the year and will be prepared for the next distribution day.
The 2026 coat collection window has closed. Coats are still needed — give any time and we will hold them for the next drive.
