Coat Drive Kicks Off Across Illinois
The Chicago Bears are launching their annual coat drive this week, aiming to collect new and gently used winter coats for those in need across Illinois. The initiative, which runs from October 30 to February 10, encourages individuals to donate their coats to help keep Illinois residents warm this winter.
Partnerships Make a Difference
The Bears are teaming up with several partners to ensure the coats reach those who need them most. Jewel-Osco, a leading grocery store chain, will host donation boxes at all 190 of its Illinois locations. Additionally, The Salvation Army and Shur-Way Movers are lending their support to the initiative.
Donation Sites
Donation sites will be available at various locations, including:
- Soldier Field on game days
