Jackson, MO – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office will host a Winter Clothing Drive on Monday, December 1, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 114 W Jackson Blvd, Jackson, Missouri. The event aims to collect essential winter wear for inmates preparing to reenter the community.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Behavioral Health staff will accept clothing donations in the parking lot in front of the Washington County Detention Center. Items will be distributed to inmates upon release after inspection to ensure no contraband is present.
Organizers say the drive focuses specifically on seasonal winter gear — including coats, gloves, scarves, socks, and work boots (especially men’s sizes 9 to 12). Donors are asked not to bring items with business logos or non-seasonal clothing.
Past drives have seen strong community support, helping recently released individuals stay warm and prepared for outdoor work opportunities. “This is one of the simplest, most meaningful ways residents can give back during the holidays,” the Sheriff’s Office noted in its event post.
The drive is open to the public, and donations can be dropped off directly at the site during event hours.
