"Misericordia is organizing a Coat Drive to meet the desperate need for warm winter coats, sweaters and sweatshirts, gloves, hats and scarves for newly arrived immigrants to the City of Chicago. So many have never lived through winter, much less a Chicago winter. If you have any items you could donate, please know we would appreciate receiving them. There are people in desperate need whom we would like to help. This Coat Drive is also a project that Misericordia’s residents can help us to sort, box, and distribute the warm clothing to Chicago-area organizations assisting our newly arrived families." --- Sr. Rosemary

Please note: If you are unable to bring your donations to campus, click here for other city-wide donation centers.
