Greater Scranton YMCA Hosting 2026 Winter Clothing Drive

The Greater Scranton YMCA is proud to announce its upcoming Winter Clothing Drive, which is being held to support individuals and families throughout our community during the coldest months of the year. The Y will collect donations of new and gently used men’s, women’s, children’s, and infant’s clothing from January 5–7, 2026.

Following the donation period, all collected items will be made available at no cost to community members from January 12–14, 2026. Clothing will be offered in a wide range of sizes, ensuring support for people of all ages.

“The Winter Clothing Drive is part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen the foundations of our community,” said Rich Surridge, President & CEO, Greater Scranton YMCA. “When neighbors help neighbors, everyone benefits. We’re grateful to all who donate and help keep local families warm this winter.”

The Winter Clothing Drive is open to the entire community, not just Greater Scranton YMCA members. The Y encourages residents to spread the word to anyone who may benefit from free winter clothing.
