Donate Winter Coats To Cornerstones And Help Keep Others Warm

RESTON, VA — It’s that time of year again. As the weather gets colder, Cornerstones and the office of Hunter Mill District Supervisor Walter Alcorn are collecting winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens and scarves to distribute free of charge to those in the community who need them.

Hunter Mill District Winter Coat Closet is accepting new and gently used, clean winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens and scarves. Items can be dropped off Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., through Nov. 8, at Cornerstones’ Main Office, which is located at 11150 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 210 in Reston.

Donations of children’s coats (newborn through teen sizes) and very large men’s and women’s coats (sizes 2XL and larger) are especially appreciated. In addition, Cornerstones is accepting donations of plastic clothes hangers. No wire hangers will be accepted.

“Please note that due to space limitations, we are unable to accept other clothing for this drive, including (but not limited to) light jackets, sweaters, pants, shoes, boots, snowsuits, and sweatsuits. In addition, we cannot accept used winter hats, gloves, mittens, or scarves,” according to Cornerstone.

Donations will be distributed on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the North County Governmental Center, which is located at 1801 Cameron Glen Drive in Reston.
