Cherokee County, GA – Families across Cherokee County can help local children stay warm this winter as the 9th Annual Bargain Hunter Coat Drive returns throughout January with multiple drop-off locations now open.
According to organizers, the coat drive runs Wednesday, January 1 through Saturday, January 31, 2026, benefiting The Children’s Haven, a nonprofit serving children and families in crisis across Cherokee County and the surrounding metro Atlanta area.
While the event is branded as a coat drive, donations are not limited to coats. Organizers say they are accepting new boys’ and girls’ clothing, along with new shoes, pajamas, backpacks, school supplies, diapers, baby wipes, and toiletries. All donated items must be new.
The timing is intentional. Many retailers mark down winter apparel after the holidays, with clearance discounts often ranging from 70% to 90% off, making it easier for residents to donate brand-new essentials at a lower cost.
Donations can be dropped off at several locations throughout Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock, and Ball Ground, including local law enforcement offices, medical practices, and business partners.
Drop-off locations include:
- Cherokee Sheriff’s Office – Canton
- Cherokee County E-9-1-1 – Canton
- Office of the District Attorney – Canton
- Holly Springs Police Department
- Luna Del Rio – Canton
- La Catrina – Canton
- Strange Chiropractic and Wellness – Woodstock
- Chart Industries – Ball Ground
A full list of locations and additional details can be found at www.cherokeechildrenshaven.org.
Organizers encourage residents to participate early, noting that winter demand for children’s clothing and basic necessities remains high across the county.
