Free winter coats, hats, boots, and more. Take what you need. No questions asked.
A good coat and warm boots shouldn’t be one more thing to worry about, and everyone in the campus community is welcome to take part.
Join ICSN and WUSA Thrift for The Winter Warm-Up Event, a free pop-up where you can browse racks of winter essentials, find your fit, and head out ready for the cold. Look for coats, boots, hats, mittens, scarves, and more.
Everything at the event is donated by the campus community.
When and where
Event 1: Thursday, November 12 | 12 to 5 PM | SLC Multi-Purpose Room

How it works

- Have your WatCard ready. Tap it when it’s your turn, then head in.
- Browse: Only a few people can enter at a time, first come, first served.
- Take what you need: To ensure as many people as possible are able to get what they need, we ask that you take up to three items.
- Exit: When you’ve chosen your items, you can check out and leave through the doors towards SLC Marketplace.
