The University of Findlay - UF Students Collecting Coats, Mittens, Hats

Students at The University of Findlay are collecting new and used coats; new gloves, mittens and hats; and monetary donations Nov. 27 through Dec. 1 as part of the community-wide annual Coats for Christmas campaign.

The University’s effort is led by three UF organizations including Campus Compact, Physical Therapy Organization and Alpha Sigma Phi.

Collection boxes will be located on campus in Old Main, the Alumni Memorial Union, Winebrenner Seminary and the Davis Street building. UF students, faculty and staff who wish to make a monetary donation may send a check to The University of Findlay, Attn: Crystal Jones, 1000 N. Main St., Findlay, Ohio, 45840, with checks made payable to The University of Findlay. Members of the on-campus Coats for Christmas committee will use the funds to purchase new hats, mittens and gloves.

City Dry Cleaning & Laundry Co. will clean used coats at no cost. Donated items will be distributed to community members Dec. 9-10 at Washington Intermediate School.

Community supporters of the city-wide campaign include Hancock Leadership Alumni Assoc., ECLIPSe (Emerging Community Leaders Investing in Philanthropic Service), Garner Transportation Group, WFIN/WKXA and City Dry Cleaning & Laundry Co. Donations will be accepted at various locations in Findlay, including the University.
