Warm Bodies, Warm Souls Clothing Drive Returns to Help Utahns Stay Warm This Winter

Utahns encouraged to donate coats, blankets and other winter essentials at Bank of Utah, Arctic Circle and Red Hanger locations Oct. 19–Nov. 20

SALT LAKE CITY (Oct. 19, 2026) — As colder weather approaches, Bank of Utah, Arctic Circle and Red Hanger invite Utahns to help their neighbors through the annual Warm Bodies, Warm Souls clothing drive. From Oct. 19–Nov. 20, the drive will collect winter clothing and other essentials for 15 nonprofit organizations serving individuals and families from Logan to St. George.

Donors can drop off gently used coats, hats, scarves, gloves and blankets, as well as new socks and underwear, at participating Bank of Utah branches, Arctic Circle restaurants and Red Hanger locations statewide.

“Every coat, blanket, hat or pair of gloves donated through Warm Bodies, Warm Souls helps our most vulnerable neighbors stay warm and comfortable through the winter,” said Jodi Lunt, Chief Development Officer at Switchpoint, an organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Utah by pairing housing with care and opportunity. “We’re grateful for the generosity of Utahns who give their time and resources to support those in need. This annual drive is a wonderful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together to care for our neighbors.”
