Tips

Small things that make it go smoothly.

Ask the partner for sizes

Shelters and schools often know which sizes run short. Adjust the counts to match.

New or gently used

Say whether used coats are welcome and that they should be clean.

Give a drop-off window

Put the drop-off place and dates in the description.
