This spring when you are cleaning out your closets and come across your gently used coats, jackets and hoodies ask yourself “Self, do I need all of these?" The answer is “no” because let’s be honest, you will most likely buy a new one next season anyway.

Let the HealthPartners Nest Region take the coats, jackets and hoodies off your hands to donate to local nonprofit agencies.
Don’t have anything to donate? Don’t worry- They also take monetary donations and just $1.00 can help to warm one adult or child.

Drop your items off at any of the Administration areas at the following clinics:
• Inver Grove
• Maplewood
• White Bear
• Woodbury
• North Suburban Clinic Drop off:
o Lino - Lunchroom
o Roseville - Lunchroom
o Hugo - Exam Room 8

*Be sure to get a tax receipt when you drop off your donation.
