11th Annual Coat Drive 

To benefit

Collecting coats in-store October 24 – November 7

In partnership with International Neighbors, we are donating new and gently used coats to local refugee families. Since our first coat drive in 2015, we have donated over 2,400 coats to families in our community.

Children’s coats are in high demand.
Please, no dry clean only.

Peace Frogs Travel/Outfitters will donate $3 for every child-sized coat donated.

This time of year holds a special place in my heart—it’s when we launch our Annual Coat Drive, a meaningful partnership with International Neighbors, aimed at supporting refugees and special immigrant visa holders in our community. Beyond witnessing the joy of seeing our generous clients and friends come in with piles of gently used coats, I have had the privilege of witnessing many special moments during the coat distribution that remind me that one of the most important thing we can do in life is share what we have with others – whether that’s love, resources, time, or in this case, a warm item of clothing.

These connections to each other are a thread that bind us all together and I’m finding that idea especially powerful right now, when the world seems particularly divided. It is my mission to continue to attach travelers to this big, wonderful planet and all the many vibrant people who live all around us. To have a robust and diverse community we need everyone to thrive.

Since our first drive in 2015, Peace Frogs Travel/Outfitters has delivered over 2,400 coats to families in need. This success is a direct result of your ongoing kindness and support, and I have no doubt this year will be the same.

Coats can be dropped off at Peace Frogs Travel/Outfitters from October 24 to November 7, with the distribution event happening on November 8. On that day, your generous donations will go directly into the hands of these new community members. Thank you for helping make this all possible.

A Private Packing Demo  

Our packing specialists provide complimentary packing appointments over Zoom or in-store. We can tailor the appointment to meet your specific travel needs. Whether your travel is by car, train, or air our Packing Specialists will guide you through their top tips on packing organized and saving space.

A complete demo can take up to 30 minutes, but this can be shortened to meet your time constraints. Your packing specialist will review best practices for packing tailored to your packing style and the type of trip you are packing for, and she will also demonstrate how to use a wide variety of packing tools.

Even if you think you have packing down pat, we promise you’ll learn at least a thing or two that might make your next packing experience even better.

To schedule, please contact us at 434-977-1415 or events@peacefrogstravel.com.
