coat drive

Winter outerwear donation

A coat drive is an organized effort to collect donated coats for distribution to people in need, typically held during fall or winter months.

Schools, churches, and community organizations commonly sponsor coat drives: The library is hosting a coat drive through November.

Similar charitable collection efforts follow the same pattern: food drive, toy drive, blood drive.
