Coats, hats, scarves, gloves, socks and other winter clothing are all needed for this year’s winter coat drive at Naval Support Activity Bethesda (NSAB).
“The season of giving is important to spread good will and to let people know that somebody cares about them and to let them know that their chaplain is praying for them,” said NSAB Chaplain Lt. Christilene Whalen.
The drive started in October and so far, there have been 95 coats donated.
“We want people to put more coats in there,” Whalen said. “We want to be overloaded.”
The winter clothing is donated to local homeless shelters and churches that give out clothes, Whalen said.
While it is a winter coat drive, all clothing of all sizes is welcome she said, and socks are especially welcome.
People can donate new or gently used items at any of the drop-off boxes until Jan. 31.
The boxes where people can donate new or gently used coats, gloves, hats, scarves, socks, etc. The collection boxes are set up in Building 17 and 27, at the Navy Exchange, outside the Uniform Shop, near the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office in Building 2 in and on the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences campus.
