7th Annual 2026 GLMV/K Coat Drive For Vets Underway

Got coats? With winter around the corner, please support our 7th Annual Green Oaks, Libertyville, Mundelein, Vernon Hills...along with Hawthorn Woods/Kildeer (GLMV/HW/K) Coat Drive For Vets, on behalf of Midwest Veteran's Closet, a not-for-profit charity that provides free clothing and other items to our former soldiers and others.

You can help veterans and their families in need by dropping off winter coats, jackets, and other seasonal outerwear at any of the 40+ participating collection locations (including GLMV/K Village Halls, Municipalities, Businesses) from October 12 - November 20, 2026.

So, let’s clean out those closets and donate items to keep our veterans and their families warm this winter. All sizes and styles are welcome (kids through adults).

MVC is so appreciative for the many coats generously donated through our community over the years.

Program sponsors include GLMV Chamber of Commerce and our veteran’s organizations, businesses, and GLMV/K municipalities, Shurway Movers (boxes), Visiting Angels (Bronze Sponsor), President Level Sponsors: Advia Credit Union, American Place Casino, Wintrust Banks; Gold Member Sponsor: Integral Medical & Rehab, and others.

Thank you for your support to help make our coat drive a huge success!
