Fill the BIG Yellow Chair – Bronte Coat Drive Donation Event
Join us at The Bronte Farmers’ Market on Sunday, August 17 from 10AM to 2PM for a special community donation event in support of The Bronte Coat Drive. If you’ve got a gently used winter coat in the back of your closet (or two…or three!), your donation will help keep local families warm when the cold weather hits.
Why Fill the Big Yellow Chair?
That bright yellow chair you’ve seen in Bronte Market Square? It’s more than a local landmark – it’s soon to be a symbol of a community that cares…BIG time. On August 17, it becomes the centerpiece of our mission: to fill it (and then some!) with coats, jackets, and warm winter gear for those in need.
What We’re Collecting:
- Gently used or new winter coats (all sizes, kids & adults)
- Snow pants
- Scarves, mitts, gloves, and hats
- Winter boots
Why It Matters:
The Bronte Coat Drive ensures that every member of our community has the essentials to face winter with warmth and dignity. Your donation helps reduce the financial burden on families and offers comfort when it’s needed most.
Come Say Hello!
The Bronte Coat Drive volunteers will be on-site with big smiles and community spirit. Whether you’re dropping off a coat or just stopping by to show support, we’d love to see you.
Let’s wrap our community in warmth – one coat at a time. See you at the Big Yellow Chair!
