In 2025, we received a grant to purchase and distribute winter coats to those in need. Since then, we've distributed all purchased coats to people in need of warm winter gear.

However, the need still exists. We want to provide a coat to anyone who walks through our doors needing one. So today we're asking for your help.

On this bitterly cold day, we're asking our community to donate the wind chill (or more!) toward winter coats for our patients, clients, and community members. Your small gift can go a long way to keep someone warm during the coldest time of the year.

You can give here; please make your gift in honor of "Coats:" https://damien.org/give
