As Canadians, we know winter wear is a necessity. But for low-income families or new Canadians, buying all that gear can be tough to afford. And the budget can get particularly stretched if children are involved. That’s why we will be hosting our 11th annual coat drive on Saturday, November 1st, 2025 from 10 a.m. to noon in support of the Good Shepherd Centre. Taking place at the Waterdown Woolcott office (493 Dundas St. E. in Waterdown), our team will be accepting donations of warm coats for the Centre. Members of our team will be on hand collecting coats with the goal to fill up our entire Staging Truck with donations.
“The Good Shepherd Centre is a fantastic resource for those less fortunate in the community,” says Drew Woolcott. “We have been running this coat drive for a number of years and our goal is to make it bigger than the last to support as many people as possible.”
“As a small token of our appreciation for the community’s support, we will have hot chocolate, coffee and snacks on hand,” says Woolcott. The Good Shepherd Centre has been a cornerstone of the Hamilton community for over 55 years, offering support through its commitment to the mission of “never stop loving” and its willingness to be of service to those in need. The organization has become the largest provider of human and social services in the Greater Hamilton Area, providing incredible services such as emergency food and clothing, daily hot meals and emergency shelters.
If you have donations, but aren’t able to make the event, we will have a donation bin outside our office front doors at 493 Dundas Street East from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday leading up to the event.
