Announcing Coats For Coffee 2025 Warm Up a Life This Winter

Presented by Grizzly Construction, Grizzly Concrete Solutions & Local Stylist Leslie Firkins (@LeslieLovesPockets)

Winter hits hard in Minnesota and while many of us pull on warm jackets and grab a cozy latte without thinking twice, thousands of families in our community don’t have access to something as basic as a winter coat. This December, we’re changing that.

One coat + one coffee + one act of kindness at a time.

Donate a Coat → Get a Coffee → Spread Warmth
December 1–31 | Twin Cities Metro Area



For the entire month of December, bring a new or gently used winter coat to any of our official Drop Points or Pop-Up Locations across the Twin Cities. In return, you’ll receive a complimentary coffee from one of our local Coffee Partners (TBA) our way of saying “thank you for warming a neighbor’s winter.”

Every coat collected supports The Sanneh Foundation, whose mission is to empower youth, improve lives, and unite communities through education, health, and programs that advance diversity, equity, and well-being.

Whether it’s a puffer jacket, a child’s parka, or a classic wool coat
All sizes and styles are welcome. Clean out your closets and help fill
someone else’s with comfort and dignity.


How You Can Help Today

  • Gather coats from your home, workplace, or friend group
