Spread the Warmth // Coat Drive Event

OUR 2025 COAT DRIVE IS IN GEAR!

Join us as we kick off our 2025 Spread the Warmth Coat Drive!

In 2024, Foster Fuels brought in 5,573 coats. As part of the #FosterGives campaign, the coats and monetary donations were delivered to local schools and ministries to help practically provide warmth to those who need it.

How can you get involved?

Foster Fuels is asking the community to donate any new or gently used coats for the Spread the Warmth coat drive event by dropping them off at any of our area drop-off locations. The event focuses on collecting children’s coats for distribution to area elementary schools and giving to kids in need. Adult sizes are also accepted and will be donated to area high schools and other charities.
