Warmest Wishes Coat Drive 2026

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is proud to host the Warmest Wishes Coat Drive, an ongoing community initiative dedicated to collecting and distributing new winter coats to local preschool, elementary, and middle school-aged children in need.

As more families continue to face financial hardship, the need for basic essentials such as winter coats remains greater than ever. Through this initiative, UWMOC works to ensure that children across Monmouth and Ocean Counties stay warm, comfortable, and supported throughout the winter season.
