Organizing your own drive is easy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Decide when you would like to host your drive&nbsp;&#8211; it can be as long or as short as you&#8217;d like, and you can collect in your neighborhood, office, or school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">1. <strong>Set up your collection area:<\/strong> Here\u2019s your opportunity to get creative! Free posters can be downloaded below in two sizes for you to \u201cbrand&#8221; your collection area with Coats for Colorado materials. If you\u2019re in an office that has street traffic, place a poster in your window; if you are in a large building with a common break room, post it wherever you\u2019ll get the most notice. We also encourage you to use them in an email to employees or patrons, or as printouts for school children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">2. <strong>Collect your coats: <\/strong>Coats for Colorado accepts only new and gently used warm winter coats for men, women, and children. We are unable to accept financial donations. Please use any money you collect to purchase new or gently used children\u2019s and men\u2019s coats \u2013 these two categories receive the fewest donations, and we always need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">3. <strong>Drop your coats off:<\/strong> Once your drive is complete, your coats can be taken to any Dependable Cleaners location for drop off. All donations are due by <strong>November 30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Please contact us with additional questions at&nbsp;<strong>303-777-2673<\/strong> and press 4 for information about Coats for Colorado,&nbsp;or via email at&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"mailto:serviceone@dcleaners.com?subject=Question%20about%20hosting%20my%20own%20coat%20collection%20event\">serviceone@dcleaners.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Download your posters <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Coats_For_Colorado_Poster24x36-005-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color:red;\">here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOST YOUR OWN DRIVE Hosting a collection drive of your own is the best&nbsp;way to participate in Coats for Colorado.
