About the Winter Coat Drive
Winter weather in Nebraska can bring hardships to the homeless, but with the help of the community, the YMCA is once again stepping in to bring some warmth and relief to those who need it most. In just three years, we have collected 10,647 coats in total! Now in its fifth year, all four Lincoln YMCA branches will be participating alongside community minded organizations to collect coats for the People's City Mission.
