It may be warm today… but we all know what’s coming.

Tomorrow, the 2026 Coats for Kids collection officially begins!

As you’re cleaning out closets or getting ready for another Minnesota winter, consider donating new or gently used winter coats, snowpants, boots, hats, mittens, gloves and scarves to help local kids stay warm this season.

And remember: larger youth and adult sizes are needed, too, for older and bigger kids.

Thank you for helping make another Minnesota winter a whole lot warmer for a local child.

As summer comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at some of the moments that made this season special across the Northern Division.
We welcomed new divisional leadership, served veterans at the VA Hospital, provided back-to-school supplies for thousands of kids, and helped young campers make memories at our summer camps.
Our Emergency Disaster Services teams were also there when communities needed help, responding to emergencies and providing support during difficult moments.
We celebrated Christmas in July with the Minnesota Twins, bringing joy to families while also reminding our community that need doesn’t take a summer break.
Each of these moments looks different, but they all point back to the same mission: being there for people when they need us most.
Thank you to our volunteers, donors, partners, and supporters who make this work possible. As summer comes to an end, the mission continues. The Salvation Army Northern Division will keep showing up for our communities across Minnesota and North Dakota, supporting families year-round.
