As winter approaches, the biting cold becomes a harsh reality for many, especially for the children in our community. The Tree House Child Advocacy Center of Montgomery County understands the importance of keeping our community warm during the winter months. In this article, we’ll explore the significance of their Winter Coat Drive, how it operates, and how you can join hands to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Why Tree House’s Winter Coat Drive Matters
Embracing Compassion
Winter is not just a season; it’s an opportunity to embrace compassion and community spirit. The Winter Coat Drive by Tree House Child Advocacy Center epitomizes this principle by providing warmth and care to those who need it most.
Keeping Vulnerable Individuals Warm
The children that we help and their families often struggle to stay warm during winter. By participating in the coat drive, we can help ensure that they have access to the warmth and protection they need.
The Winter Coat Drive Initiative
Core Mission
The core mission of Tree House’s Winter Coat Drive is simple yet impactful: to collect new winter coats and distribute them to the children in our community within Montgomery County. It’s about turning generosity into tangible warmth.
How It Works
The winter coat drives operate on a community-driven model. People from all walks of life donate new coats, which are then given to our children at Tree House CAC.
Where to Donate
Participating in Tree House’s Winter Coat Drive is easy. You can drop them off from 9AM to 6PM at Tree House, 7300 Calhoun Drive #500 Rockville MD 20855.

Spread the Word
You can contribute to the success of the drive by spreading awareness. Share the initiative on social media, among friends, and within your community. The more people know, the more coats can be collected and distributed.
