The ThriveTogether Warmth Project

A staple of ThriveTogether — the Warmth Project makes sure no Dayton resident has to face winter without the clothing they need. Every single winter, we collect and distribute warm coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and other cold-weather essentials to families and individuals across the Dayton area.

  • Open to all Dayton residents — no ID or income verification required.
  • Distribution events are held throughout the winter season.
  • Donations of new or gently used winter clothing are always welcome.

Emergency Food Boxes

  • Pre-packed boxes of shelf-stable essentials ready for same-day pickup.
  • Each box typically includes canned soup, pasta sauce, mac and cheese, peanut butter, canned beans, rice, grains, proteins, fruits & vegetables, and other household staples.
  • No ID or income verification required — just let us know what you need.
  • Available for individuals, families, and seniors in the Dayton area.

Animal Rescue

We rescue, rehabilitate, and reunite — pulling animals from crisis into the care they need to recover and thrive.

Help us do more of this work.

Your time, talents, and donations directly fund pantry shelves, vet bills, and the outreach work that makes these programs possible.
