Questions

Q: Will you accept any type of coat? A: Please only bring coats that are suitable for winter in Calgary. Our goal is to provide warmth and safety to our fellow Calgarians this winter, and that means we need coats that can handle our chilly temps. 

Q: How many coats can I bring in? A: There is no limit on how many coats you can bring in, and each one will get you a prize entry (same goes for online donations). However, please know that our staff reserve the right to deem coats unusable, either for weather conditions or physical condition of coat. 

Q: Who will the coats be donated to? A: This year we will be focusing on youth outreach organization, The Doorway, with any coats they cannot use going to organizations we have worked with in past years. All online donations will go directly to the Parachutes for Pets an organization the works to keep vulnerable people and their pets together.

Q: Do you take coats for children? A: We sure do! If you have winter coats that your little ones have outgrown, no matter what size, we will take them.

Q: I've never been to your store before, where are you and what are your hours? A: You can find all this info on our VISIT US page. 

Q: What specifically is in each prize pack? A: Watch our social media for weekly highlights of each prize!
