One in every five children lives in poverty right here in our city and too many children come to school without proper clothing to keep them warm during the winter months.

Clean, new or gently used coats, snow pants and boots. Coats must be washable only; no leather or heavy wool. New accessories – including hats, mitts, scarves and socks.

Winter is a hard time of year for families in need, and when we all come together as a community to solve problems, beautiful things can happen.

The CEC LONDON CHAPTER will hold a first annual #KeepLondonWarm 2023-24 - Winter Clothing Drive to help ensure that all students in our community have warm winter clothing to get to and from school and are prepared to participate in all of the fun outdoor activities winter has to offer.

You can support students and their families by donating clean, new or gently used warm winter coats, pants and boots. New accessories are much appreciated, including hats, mitts, scarves, and socks.
