Coat Drive

Each winter, the Cabarrus Partnership for Children hosts the Cuddle Up Coat Drive, an annual initiative dedicated to keeping local children warm and safe during the cold months. 

Help a Child Stay Warm This Winter

20th Annual Cuddle Up Coat Drive (Nov 2026–Jan 2027)

This year’s children’s coat drive kicks off on November 1, 2026.

During a typical winter, 300-400 coats and warm clothing items are distributed to children across Cabarrus County. Help partner with the Cabarrus Partnership for Children to keep children in Cabarrus County warm and healthy during the winter months.
