Staying warm through a New England winter shouldn’t be a privilege. That’s why Memorial Congregational Church, in partnership with the Sudbury Social Workers Office, is launching the Sudbury Community Coat Closet — a new effort to ensure that every neighbor has access to winter coats, hats, and mittens. Nearly one hundred children, teens, adults, and seniors in our town are in need of cold-weather gear this year. By donating a new or like-new coat or sponsoring an item for someone in need, you can help us offer warmth, dignity, and care to our community.
Sudbury Community Coat Closet
Want to Donate?
Each fall, MCC collects new and very lightly used winter coats, hats, and mittens for the Sudbury Community Coat Closet. Nearly one hundred children, teens, adults, and seniors in town rely on this effort each year, and your generosity helps ensure that every neighbor stays warm through the winter.
This year’s priority collection items are:
- Youth and teen-sized warm winter coats
- Youth and adult hats and mittens
PLEASE NOTE: We accept only new or like-new items so that every recipient can receive gear that is clean, warm, and dignified.
Drop-off Locations
We collect items on a rolling basis, priority drop off is preferred for items by 12/1 or sooner so we can be sure to get them to people as the weather gets cooler.
During the collection season, coats, hats, and mittens may be dropped off in donation bins at:
- Memorial Congregational Church (26 Concord Rd, across from Goodnow Library)
- Duddy Fitness (33 Union Ave.)
- Sudbury Senior Center (40 Fairbank Road)]
