Staff Advisory Council Coat Drive

Pioneers for People Coat Drive

Each winter, we ask the DU community to donate coats, hats, gloves, scarves and other cold-weather items they're no longer using, and donate them to the Pioneers for People Coat Drive.

The Staff Advisory Council collects the items and gives them to the Denver Rescue Mission to help its clients stay warm in the winter.

During the annual coat drive, you can drop off items in bins in any of the locations below. Show your Pioneer pride by helping those in need!

Thanks to all who contributed to the 2013 Pioneers for People Coat Drive!
