Would you like to host a drive? It’s easy.

Volunteers can make a meaningful impact at COTS by hosting a drive to collect some most needed tangible items. Collected items will directly support families in our shelter. By organizing a drive in your community, workplace, or with friends, you’ll help ensure our families have essential resources as they work toward self-sufficiency. Every item donated brings us closer to our mission of helping families thrive.
