Since we held our first coat drive back in 2006, Alpine Shop customers have donated over 18,000 coats to help keep our communities warm. This year, we’re asking for your help, once again, in bringing in at least one thousand more as Alpine Shop and The Pathfinder stores kick off their 16th annual One Warm Coat Drive on Monday, November 1, 2021 at all Alpine Shop locations in Missouri and at The Pathfinder in Manhattan, Kansas.

How It Works

From Monday, November 1 through Thursday, November 11, we’ll accept clean, gently-used coats, jackets and sweaters at each and every Alpine Shop location.

• Just for bringing in a garment–any coat, jacket or sweater–we'll give you a $25 off coupon for your next full-price apparel purchase of $125 or more at any Alpine Shop or The Pathfinder store. (Some exclusions apply. See a sales associate for details.)

• Plus, we're also giving away four prize packages – each including a $100 Alpine Shop Gift Card and a Thermoball Eco Jacket from The North Face – one from each of our stores. For each and every coat or sweater you donate, you get one entry into that drawing. Here's the deal, though... we only draw the prize packages when we reach our goal of 1000 total coats donated across all of our stores. And each Alpine Shop location must collect at least 100 coats to be eligible to give away a gift card. So, help your local Alpine Shop out!

NOTE: Alpine Shop will only give away one coupon to each customer during the coat drive no matter how many different coats you donate. However, each item donated will still earn one entry into the gift card drawing.

How to Donate

Alpine Shop has made donating simple. Just bring your clean, gently used coats, jackets and sweaters to any Alpine Shop or The Pathfinder location. Bring your coats inside the store and check them in with one of the store’s outfitters to make sure you receive your coupon and get entered into the drawing. Then, Alpine Shop, The Pathfinder and One Warm Coat take care of the rest.

Donated coats will be split among organizations in the greater St. Louis are, including: Webster-Rock Hill Ministries and the St. Patrick Center. In Columbia, all coats will go to the Rainbow House. At The Pathfinder in Manhattan, Kan., coats will be donated to Common Table, The Manhattan Emergency Shelter and FIT Closet and Clothing Exchange.

Last year, we managed to beat our goal once again. We hope you can help us do the same in 2021!
