Welcome to Button Up Connecticut

Button Up Connecticut's mission is to collect clean, new and gently used coats and distribute them to residents in need all across Connecticut. The coats are received from various companies, schools, churches and other organizations throughout the state who run their own coat drives and donate the coats they receive to Button Up Connecticut for distribution.

The coats we collect are provided to local non-profit agencies (schools, churches, children's homes, shelters, food pantries, and other social service agencies) by appointment only for distribution to their clients. Agencies can set up appointments to get coats for their clients by using the contact form,  by emailing Kara Lucht at klucht@siracusamoving.com or call the Button Up Connecticut Hotline at 860-259-0239.
