It’s Time to Spring Clean Your Closets 
Spring is in the air, and what a great time to go through your closets, get rid of what you don’t need and help people in the local community who would REALLY appreciate your gently used clothing!

Baby it’s Cold Outside (BCO) is running it’s Lethbridge Annual Spring Clothing Drive from April 1st -30th, 2022 and we are asking for your help supporting people in Lethbridge and surrounding area who need assistance with clothing and essential living supplies.

Spring cleaning not only makes you feel good, but those clothes you never wear or don’t need anymore can really make a difference in someone’s life.

For example, your clothing donations can:
  • Help someone get a job they desperately need
  • Send a child to school with “new” clothes
  • Keep someone warm at night
  • Provide a sense of confidence and hope
  • Support new mothers and help give infants a good start in life  

All donations STAY local and go to two locations in Lethbridge to assist those in need at little or no cost.

What to Donate:
Gently used (laundered) clothing is appreciated, but don’t forget that new clothes offer another option for supporting the clothing drive. 
Other items that are appreciated include:
  • Runners, work shoes or boots
  • Socks & undergarments
  • Living essentials (deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo etc.)
Items that must be bagged separately and labelled:
  • Maternity or baby items (newborn to 3T)
  • New baby bottles, diapers, soothers, shampoos, formula, quilts, or blankets

​Community Partners:
BCO is grateful to Ashcroft Master Builder, Stranville Living Master Builder, Avonlea Homes, and The Collective for providing convenient drop off locations for our Annual Spring Clothing Drive.

And we can’t forget to thank YOU, the people of Lethbridge and area who have supported our clothing drive in the past.   Your generous contributions are always appreciated by BCO, but more so by the people in your local community who need them.

Warm Hearts for Coldest Night of the Year 2022

Another Amazing Year for CNOY 2022 in Okotoks!

We want to give a HUGE shout out to everyone who participated or made a donation to support BCO and the Okotoks Food Bank in our community for CNOY 2022. 


This year we raised almost $11,000 thanks to the outstanding efforts of 13 local fundraising teams and a grand total of 57 walkers! Right down to the tips of our frozen toes we are so grateful for all of their hard work and for all of the generosity you've shown us once again, Okotoks!!

Socially Distanced but United in the Spirit of Giving 

This year all of our participants walked socially distanced routes through town as we near what we hope is the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in southern Alberta. We are very excited to return to the group walk format in CNOY 2023, when we can fully celebrate the community spirit that makes this annual fundraiser so important for BCO and the work we do to help local folks in need.

How to Donate

Missed the event this year? There's still plenty of time to make a donation through our official CNOY Okotoks web page!
