5TH ANNUAL WINTER COAT DRIVE FOR PEOPLE’S CITY MISSION As winter approaches, many in our community face the harsh realities of Nebraska’s cold season without a warm coat. For the fifth consecutive year, the YMCA of Lincoln is stepping up to provide warmth and hope through its annual Winter Coat Drive, benefiting People’s City Mission. Now through October 21, all four Lincoln YMCA branches will serve as drop-off locations for new or gently used coats. Since the coat drive’s inception, nearly 11,000 coats have been collected and distributed, thanks to the incredible generosity of YMCA members and the greater Lincoln community. To show our appreciation for your support, community members donating a coat will receive a free one-week “Try the Y” pass, valid through December 31, 2025. Current YMCA of Lincoln members who donate will be entered into a drawing to win a free Lincoln Y membership for 2026.

“As temperatures drop, the need for warm clothing becomes critical for those without stable housing. Our annual coat drive is one way we can extend care and compassion to our neighbors in need.” Renee Yost, President & CEO | YMCA of Lincoln
