On Saturday, October 26, more than 800 community members gathered for Martha’s Table’s Annual Winter Coat Giveaway—a celebration of teamwork and the warmth of our community. Thanks to our amazing staff, volunteers, sponsors, and the efforts of those who organized coat drives, we distributed nearly 3,000 coats to children and families to help them stay warm through the colder months.
“Our Winter Coat Giveaway event demonstrated the power of community and compassion, reinforcing our mission to support strong children, strong families, and strong communities,” said Laura Grossman, Manager at Martha’s Outfitters, who spearheaded Saturday’s event.
A very special thank you to the more than 100 volunteers and staff who helped make this event so special. We appreciate the time and energy they dedicated to making it a true success.
If you weren’t able to join us for the coat giveaway, we invite you to visit Martha’s Outfitters—a no-cost clothing boutique and welcoming space for all DC residents. Located at 2204 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE, Martha’s Outfitters provides a dignified shopping experience where shoppers can find high-quality children’s clothing and professional attire for men and women at no cost to the community. Last year, Martha’s Outfitters provided nearly 90,000 articles of clothing, saving families across the District an estimated $2.5 million. Learn more about Martha’s Outfitters here.
