October 1-21

Winter weather in Nebraska can bring hardships to the homeless, and the YMCA is stepping in to bring some warmth and relief from the cold to those who need it most. Now in its fifth year, all four Lincoln YMCA branches will be participating in a coat drive to benefit the People's City Mission. Over the years, we have collected over 10,000 coats thanks to the generosity of YMCA members and the Lincoln community at large.

Community members who make a donation at a YMCA branch will receive a free pass to "Try the Y" for a week, valid through the end of the year. Current Lincoln YMCA members donating coats will have the chance to win a FREE Y membership for 2026.

The drive will take place October 1-21, with a kick-off coat distribution at PCM's Help Center on Friday, November 7.
