Donate coats keep kids warm and cozy this winter

January 2, 2026

You’re invited to help bring warmth to children and families in our community by donating to a Coat Drive that is being organized by teammates working on our new Roper St. Francis Healthcare and MUSC Children’s Health Children’s Unit at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital.

The drive will collect new or gently used coats for children and teens, ages 0–18, which will be distributed directly to families served by our Greer Transitions Clinics.

Collection dates:
Nov. 17 – Early February

Drop-off locations:

At Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital:

Women’s & Children’s entrance
Volunteer desk
Emergency Department entrance

Donation guidelines:

Coats should be new or gently used and in good condition
Sizes needed: Infant through teen
Please ensure coats are clean and ready to wear

Together, we can help families in need stay safe and warm through the colder months. Spread the word and consider donating a coat (or two) to make a difference this winter.
