The hustle and bustle of the holiday season are upon us. As we bundle up to ward off the sting of the winter winds, we realize how truly fortunate we are to have a warm coat and hat. Some of our neighbors aren’t quite as lucky. 

“We are grateful for Columbia’s continuing support of this outreach,” said Lisa Cooper, president of Mast Store. “In addition to Columbia’s generous donation of coats, our guests are helping us share the warmth and make a bigger impact than we could on our own.”? 

Each store has carefully chosen a local organization that is well connected in the community to find new homes for each donated jacket. 

Please take a look in your closets and storage bins for clean, gently-worn coats and jackets that may find a greater purpose in someone else’s closet. They can be dropped off at any Mast Store through December 31.

The Christmas and holiday seasons fill our eyes with wonder. Our spirit overflows with goodwill. And making a donation of a coat to warm a person will also warm our hearts.
