People can drop off gently-used winter jackets Tuesday through Sunday at Rick Rack's in the Manchester Business Districtis looking for a few warm, gently-used winter coats to help find new homes among people who don't have one.
For the second year in a row, the company is collecting people's unwanted winter jackets in order to redistribute them to different organizations across Calgary. "Donating a coat is an easy and convenient way to help people in need in Calgary and it makes an immediate and direct impact on our most vulnerable," said Rick Rack owner Veronica Murphy, in a release. "With the increasing cost of living and economic uncertainties, it is our privilege as a small business to find ways to help.
Coats are being accepted at Rick Rack until Nov. 30 Tuesday through Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Rick Rack Textiles is Calgary's largest garment-focused sewing supply store. It's located at 4704 Manhattan Rd. S.E. in the Manchester Business District.
