As the colder months approach, many of our neighbors are facing a critical need for warm clothing. This year, the demand is greater than ever, as we are joined by many families displaced by Hurricane Helene and facing uncertainty about their homes.
Our town has shown incredible generosity in these difficult times, and we are deeply grateful to be a part of a compassionate and giving community . While our hearts go out to those affected by the devastation in WNC, we are also reminded that there are urgent needs here at home.
We humbly ask for your help once more. We are aiming to collect 350 children’s coats and 350 adult-sized coats, along with hats and gloves to ensure everyone stays warm this winter. Both new and gently used items are appreciated.
Your kindness can make a world of difference to those who need it most. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our Lincoln neighbors warm this season.
Transparency in Giving
All donated items will be directly distributed to local children, families in need, and the homeless within our community. Should we receive more than is needed locally, we will collaborate with organizations in WNC to ensure these items reach others in need.
We are accepting new and gently used items, as well as financial contributions, to help cover the cost of purchasing enough to support everyone in our community.
The table below shows the average costs of the coats, hats, and gloves that we need:
| Size | Item | Average Cost | Total Cost |
| Child | Coat | $25 | $8,750 |
| Child | Hat | $3 | $1,050 |
| Child | Gloves | $7.50 | $2,625 |
| Adult | Coat | $29 | $10,150 |
| Adult | Hat | $3 | $1,050 |
| Adult | Gloves | $9 | $3,150 |
| TOTAL | $26,775 |
The Total Cost column reflects the estimated amount we would need to purchase 100% of the items needed.
