Folks of all ages can put your old, lightly used coats to good use. Dependable Cleaners is generously partnering with CU to clean and distribute all the collected garments to Coats for Colorado, a charitable organization working with 120 non-profit human service providers to serve the needs of Coloradans.

Engage with your fellow CU Staff across all four campuses in a friendly coat drive competition through November 20th. The winning campus will be selected based on percentage of donated coats to staff census. So gather up those coats of all sizes and be on the lookout for convenient drop off locations, listed below.

Main Campus Drop-off Locations:

  • University Memorial Center (UMC), main reception desk
  • Law School, 2nd floor library & 3rd floor Dean's suite
