2025 Coats 4 Kids Campaign with Colvin Cleaners and Channel 4 News!

Valu Home Centers is proud to once again support our neighbors in need by serving as an official drop-off location for the Coats4Kids campaign!

In partnership with Colvin Cleaners and Channel 4 News, we’re helping to collect, clean, and distribute new and gently used winter essentials - ensuring families across Western New York stay warm this season!

How the Program Works:

Donate: Bring new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and even boots to any of the 13 WNY Valu Home Centers location.

Every Item Counts

Although it’s called Coats4Kids, donations of all sizes are welcome. Adults need warmth too, and your contribution could make the difference for a neighbor.

With your generosity, we can help keep Western New York warm this winter. Stop by any WNY Valu Home Center location, drop off your items in the in-store bins, and join us in making a difference - one coat at a time!
