UMassFive Hosting Winter Coat and Cold-Weather Clothing Drive
UMassFive College Federal Credit Union (UMassFive) is running a winter coat and cold-weather clothing drive in its Hadley, Northampton, UMass Amherst, Springfield, and Worcester branches throughout October.
Donations from this drive, held annually, will be distributed in partnership with the Amherst Survival Center, Gray House in Springfield, and Net of Compassion in Worcester.
“We know that our neighbors in need have come to count on the coats and warm clothing our members donate during this drive,” says Cait Murray, UMassFive Community Outreach Manager. “We are so grateful to partner with the great local organizations that can ensure donations are directed where they can have a significant impact.”
UMassFive thankfully accepts any clean, new, or gently used coats, gloves, scarves, hats, sweaters, snow gear, and boots. Donations should be placed in a bag and may be dropped off during business hours to the Hadley branch at 200 Westgate Center Drive, Northampton branch at 225 King Street, UMass Amherst Campus Center Branch (Room 224,) Springfield branch at 233 Carew Street (Mercy Hospital Rehabilitation Building, Room 110,) or Worcester Branch (UMass Chan Medical School, Room S1-820.)
