With both thermal and protective properties, an unwanted motorcycle jacket collecting dust in your wardrobe could make a tremendous difference to a less fortunate person forced to call the outdoors home.
AMCN is urging all big-hearted readers to think about updating their winter jacket for what’s looking like an extremely cold season, using the opportunity to help warm Australia’s homeless by donating the used jacket to AMCN annual Winter Jacket Drive.
Now in its eighth year, the annual drive supports Australia’s most vulnerable by collecting unwanted motorcycle jackets and, with the help of Mission Australia, distributing them to the alarming and growing amount of people sleeping rough in this country.
With both thermal and protective properties, an unwanted motorcycle jacket collecting dust in your wardrobe could make a tremendous difference to a less fortunate person forced to call the outdoors home.
A full list of drop-off points will be published soon, but as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it’s time to start making your plan around how you might be able to aid this year’s Winter Jacket Drive. Besides, who needs a better excuse to buy yourself a new winter jacket?
Already got one?
If you’re one step ahead of us and already have a warm and protective winter layer ready to donate to the excellent cause that is AMCN’s Winter Jacket Drive, then give it a clean, package it up and send to Gassit HQ.
