Winter Wear events for 2026-27 season are now OPEN.
As the winter cold quickly approaches, the need for warm winter clothing—especially for children in our local school districts—is always a high need in our community. This year, thanks to a generous community donor, Love INC has designated funds to purchase new cold weather clothing (coats, boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens) to serve our communities, and we are working to distribute them as soon as possible. Please reach out to your school district counselor to learn more about when your area may be hosting an event.
We know the incredible compassion and reach of our local churches. We have invited your local churches to partner with us by hosting a one-day Winter Clothing Distribution Event this season, mobilizing the Body of Christ to meet an immediate need.
This year, Love INC had the opportunity to serve over 220 neighbors through area churches to receive much needed Winter Wear- Coats, Snowpants, Boots, Hats, Mittens, Gloves.
