Winter Coat Drive for Homeless Veterans

By Thursday, October 13, 2022

It’s time again to give to those in need! 

The Cook County Clerk's Office is partnering with Rotary District 6450 to assist the Chicago Standdown in this year's Winter Coat Drive for Homeless Veterans. So, please join the Clerk’s Office and wrap your arms around a homeless veteran with a winter coat donation this season! Read more on how you can help below.

Since 1993, the Chicago Standdown has assisted those veterans who are less fortunate and experiencing homelessness – and this year they are looking for new or clean and gently used men’s winter coats (Sizes L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, and 4XL).  

Coats will be accepted through Friday, October 21st with collection boxes located at 118 N. Clark Street, Room 120 and 69 W. Washington, 5th Floor.  

All donated coats will be given out at the Chicago Standdown on Friday, October 28th at the Kedzie Armory (Illinois National Guard Northwest Armory, 1551 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60651).  

Questions can be directed to Brian Cross (brian.cross@cookcountyil.gov) or 312-603-5788. 

Thank you for your participation!
