Project Warmth coat drive operating differently this year due to coronavirus
Project Warmth, a citywide coat and blanket drive started by The Star in 1982, will operate a little differently this year while adjusting to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event is one of many in 2020 making adjustments to avoid large gatherings and mitigate the spread of coronavirus.
Rather than setting up public donation sites on designated days, Project Warmth is asking community members to bring their donations or gently used coats and blankets directly to the agencies that distribute them.
A list of Kansas City area organizations accepting donations, and how to donate can be found here or at projectwarmthkc.com.
On December 6, postage-paid envelopes for donations will be in the Kansas City Star print edition.
Through November 11, the following businesses will have drop off locations.
