Drop off your donation at any of our branches!

Each winter, thousands of individuals across Hampton Roads face the challenge of staying warm, and the need continues to grow. This year, we’re once again proud to partner with WAVY-TV’s Coats for Families initiative as a drop-off location.

We are collecting new and gently used coats of all sizes for those in need throughout our community. Through the end of 2026, donations can be dropped off at any 1st Advantage branch. A simple coat donation can make a meaningful difference, helping local children and families stay warm and comfortable throughout the season.
