SAN ANTONIO — Winter is upon us in San Antonio, and the need for new or gently used coats is on the rise for the less fortunate.
Dutch Boy Cleaners and Five Star Cleaners are working with KENS 5 and Santikos Theaters to assure that San Antonio's homeless stay warm this winter through their annual winter coat drive: Cold Days, Warm Hearts.
Every year, thousands of coats are collected, repaired, cleaned and provided to the good folks at SAMMinistries and Christian Assistance Ministries (CAM) for distribution to those who may not have the means to purchase a coat.
Ways to donate
Now through January 31, 2026, viewers can drop off new or gently used coats to any Dutch Boy Cleaners, Five Star Cleaners or Santikos Theater in the greater San Antonio area. Coats are needed for all ages, from kids to adults.
Each donor/family will receive
- A $5 gift certificate good towards any future Five Star Cleaners or Dutch Boy Cleaners order
- A Santikos coupon and 30- minute play card good at any Santikos Theater location
- One per family, while supplies last
