Coats for Kids of San Luis Obispo County is having a limited-time winter coast drive from Jan. 25 and Jan. 31, 2021. Due to pandemic restrictions, Coats for Kids held a limited coat drive in 2020, and the need is still great.

For one week, Coats for Kids donation boxes will be at five North County businesses. The boxes will be brought outside the front door during business hours and brought in at night to allow for social distancing. Donations of new or gently used coats, sweaters, and sweatshirts will be accepted in all sizes, but the need for kid’s clothes is greatest. Clothes will go to qualified families in North San Luis Obispo County.

Drop Off Locations (Jan. 25 – Jan. 31 during business hours):

  • Madrone Landscapes, 8045 Morro Road, Atascadero, CA 93422
  • Atascadero Jewelry and Loan, 5550 El Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422
