Our Goal
This project helps people and the planet! You will collect coats and warm weather items for neighbors served by Our Lady of the Angels at their monthly food pantry and free market in West Humboldt Park. 

By finding donations a new home, your work at this project reduces waste while helping local families receive everyday essentials needed to live quality and dignified lives. 

Get Ready!

Learn more about OLA’s food pantry with this video. Prior to volunteering, discuss the purpose of the project with your family. Here are a few ideas to get the conversation going and build empathy:

• Did you learn something new about food pantries that surprised you?

• Have you ever struggled to make ends meet? If so, what was your experience like? 

• When you donate items you no longer use like clothing or coats, how might it help other families? What about the planet?

Collecting Donations
This project is designed for your family to participate in together! Work with your family to clean out your closets to collect new or very-gently used coats, gloves, hats, and/or scarves. You will complete this project at home and then deliver your donations directly to OLA on the date/time noted above.

Please bring as many or as few donations as you like. Adult and child sizes are needed. Quality=Dignity so please only donate items that you would be proud to wear.
