House of Cars is proud to have participated in the twelfth annual Coats For Calgary coat drive, collecting warm, used, winter coats for Calgary's less fortunate.

With the help of generous Calgarians, we helped collect over 6000 jackets for Calgary’s less fortunate and had many other businesses and groups come on board this year to support the cause.

On Thursday, the Coats for Calgary Team delivered all the jackets to the Calgary Drop-In Centre and thanks to all of you, we’ll be making a significant impact on the lives of those that need it most. It couldn't have been a better time to drop them off with the cold snap that is coming to Calgary this weekend and the Calgary Drop-In's critical need for warm coats.

A huge thank you to all of you that helped collect and donated jackets of your own! You are an essential piece of Coats For Calgary and we’re beyond grateful for your help. Coats for Calgary has grown year over year and big things are to come for 2023! We're proud to have been able to support such an amazing organization again this year!

House of Cars is proud to partner with Coats For Calgary again for the 2022 season! With all House of Cars locations acting as official coat drop-off locations, we're honored to be supporting this fantastic cause. We encourage you to bring in a used jacket next time you're in the area of any of our eight Calgary dealerships. One jacket that you're no longer using can go a long way!

2022 marks the twelfth annual jacket drive with the hopes to surpass last year's previous impressive record of over 7,000 jackets donated. With over 40 sponsors and businesses involved, the goal is to surpass that amount, a number that was never thought to be obtainable when first kicking off the jack drive 12 years ago.
