4th Annual Chicago Spartans Winter Coat and Accessories Drive

Chicago, IL

12/31/2018

The Chicago Spartans are collecting new and gently used winter coats for men/women/children now through December 31.

You can bring your new or gently used item to any of our drop off locations throughout the city. Please see our website for participating partner bars where you can drop off your donations - www.chicagospartans.com/coatdrive.

If you’d like to help with collection, add your workplace as a drop off, or any other way, please feel free to reach out to us.

No coat? No problem! If your jacket has been through a lot or you just got it, you can still help! An option to donate financially is also available through Operation Warm that will go directly to purchasing new coats for our beneficiary. What’s better than a used coat? A brand new one. Go to www.chicagospartans.com/coatdrive for more information and to contribute.

Wreath Laying at Arlington Cemetery

Arlington , VA

12/15/2018

December's volunteer event is the annual laying of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery on Saturday, December 15 at 8:30 a.m..

If you haven't added this to your list of holiday traditions, you absolutely should. Putting a wreath on a grave is a simple action with immense meaning.

Also, if you have family, it is highly recommended that you bring them, too.

Arlington National Cemetery opens at 8:00 a.m.. General wreath placement starts at 9:00 a.m. Don't be late - they run out of wreaths fast.

We will meet just past the bag check/metal detectors. Enter a building to do the bag check, and then move right outside again through a different door. I'll be outside with an MSU flag.
