District 9 Councilwoman Announces 2nd Annual Coats of Kindness Drive

Published on October 02, 2026

SAN ANTONIO (October 2, 2026) — The Office of District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears is launching the 2nd Annual Coats of Kindness Drive, a community donation effort to provide new and gently used coats to individuals in need across San Antonio.

The coat drive will run from October 1 through November 20, with donations benefiting Corazón Ministries, Family Violence Prevention Services and Soldiers’ Angels. Last year 500 coats were donated. The goal this year is to donate 700 coats.

Councilwoman Spears is encouraging District 9 and all San Antonio residents to participate by donating coats during the collection period. 

“There are people in our community who could use a helping hand, and this is a meaningful way to make a difference. Something sitting in your closet could mean a lot to someone else,” said Councilwoman Misty Spears. “A warm coat can make a real difference for a child, a parent, or a survivor who need a little extra kindness this winter.”

Residents can drop off new or gently used coats at the following locations:

District 9 Constituent Services Office
16500 San Pedro Ave., Suite 235, 78232

Walker Ranch Senior Center
835 West Rhapsody, 78216

Mesa Granda HOA
2 Sable Canyon, 78258

Kung Jung Mu Sul of Texas
16664 San Pedro Ave., 78232

The District 9 Office encourages residents to spread the word and donate a coat during the collection period.
