Operation Bundle Up is a United Way of Johnson County program that, in collaboration with Milto Cleaners, Johnson County schools, local businesses provides new and gently used coats to Johnson County children and families.  

Special Thank You to our 2025 Sponsors!

How can you help?

Be a Collection site:

Give your employees, volunteers, or members the opportunity to donate new or gently used coats and new hats, gloves and mittens. To make it easy, put out a box or tote for all to drop off their donations. Utilize our posters that we can e-mail you or can be picked up at our office. Be creative and have fun with your collections!

Please click here to sign up to be a collection site. Collections run from September 25th - October 14th

Does your child need a winter coat?

United Way of Johnson County has partnered with the following organizations and agencies to distribute the coats, hats, gloves, mittens and scarves.   Having the donated items at multiple locations, provides  families the convenience to chose their location and time that works best for them. The coats that are donated will be cleaned by Milto Cleaners and then they will be available at the following locations after November 10, 2025.  Keep checking back for more opportunities.  The one day distribution event will not happen this year.
