**Metro Detroit Community Gears Up for Operation: Cozy Winter Clothing Drive**
*Detroit, MI* — As winter’s chill approaches, the spirit of giving has ignited in Metro Detroit with the announcement of “Operation: Cozy,” a vital winter clothing drive set to take place on November 12, 2025. Hosted at Kadesh Baptist Church on Plymouth Road, the event promises to bring warmth to those in need across the community.
Organized by Local 4 in partnership with the Center For Youth and Families, the initiative seeks to collect new or gently used winter essentials, including coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. With many families facing financial hardships, this drive represents a beacon of hope, ensuring that both children and adults can brave the cold months ahead.
From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., volunteers will be on hand to accept donations, transforming the church’s interior into a welcoming space for generosity. The event is not just about collecting items; it’s about fostering a community spirit where residents come together to support one another.
“We believe that everyone deserves a chance to stay warm, especially during winter,” said a representative from Local 4. “Operation: Cozy is an opportunity for all of us to step up and make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.”
The Center For Youth and Families echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the drive’s importance in combating the effects of poverty in the region.
As winter approaches, community members are encouraged to dig into their closets and contribute. If you’re in Metro Detroit, join this heartwarming initiative and help keep our community cozy this season. Remember, every coat counts, and together, we can ensure that no one has to face the winter gales unprotected.
