Visit Beloit is inviting residents to drop off new or gently used coats, sweaters, hats, mittens and other warm clothing items as part of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism’s “Big Bundle Up” campaign. The Big Bundle Up is a statewide collection program running Nov. 15, 2018 – Jan. 2, 2019.
This is the eighth year of the Big Bundle Up. To date, the program has collected more than 134,441 warm winter items to help families in need. In addition to Visit Beloit, other collection sites, including Travel Wisconsin Welcome Centers, are located throughout the state. Visit TravelWisconsin.com for a full listing of donation sites.
With the spirit of the holiday season upon us, donating winter items is the perfect way to give to families in need across the state. A box will be located at in the lobby of Visit Beloit’s temporary office at 25 Eclipse Center for donors to drop off warm clothing items. All items donated at this location will be given to Salvation Army, Caritas and Hands of Faith.
