Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, September 25, 2026 — Faith Unfiltered Community Development, a local organization, has initiated a coat drive aimed at providing essential winter warmth to children in the Hampton Roads area. The initiative seeks to collect donations of clean coats to ensure that young residents can stay warm as temperatures drop.

The drive is specifically collecting coats for children ranging in age from infants up to 18 years old. While all age groups are welcomed, the organization has expressed a particular focus on securing donations for teenagers. This effort is designed to address the needs of vulnerable youth in the community during the colder months.

Donations of clean coats are being accepted throughout the current month. A distribution event, where the collected coats will be given away to children in need, is scheduled to take place on October 24. The exact timeline for the month of donations and the specific location for both donation drop-offs and the giveaway event were not provided.

Faith Unfiltered Community Development aims to make a tangible impact by ensuring that no child in the Hampton Roads community goes without adequate protection from the winter chill. Further details regarding specific donation needs or how to contribute beyond the general collection of coats were not immediately available.
