Bradley, IL – Families across the Bradley-Bourbonnais area still have time to donate winter clothing to help neighbors stay warm as temperatures drop this week.
According to Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School District 307, the BBCHS Tri-M Music Honor Society is hosting its annual “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Winter Clothing Drive, collecting cold-weather items for local community members in need.
The drive runs through Friday, December 19, with donation bins located in the main lobby and atrium at BBCHS. Students and organizers are encouraging residents to contribute gently used or new winter clothing, including coats, jackets, snow pants, hats, gloves, scarves, and similar seasonal essentials.
School officials say the effort is designed to support families throughout Bradley, Bourbonnais, and surrounding Kankakee County communities, where winter conditions can quickly become dangerous without proper clothing.
The Tri-M Music Honor Society, a student organization recognizing academic and musical achievement, has led similar service projects in past winters. Organizers say community participation plays a key role in ensuring the drive’s success each year.
Donations must be dropped off during school hours before Friday’s deadline. Items collected will be distributed locally to individuals and families facing financial hardship during the winter season.
Residents who live nearby are encouraged to check closets for unused winter gear that could make a difference for someone in need.
