Jacket Repair Project
The Warm Hearts Jacket Repair Project is paused for the 2026-2027 season
The Warm Hearts Jacket Repair Project is taking a pause for the 2026-2027 season. We’re incredibly grateful to all the volunteers, community partners, and supporters who have helped repair hundreds of winter jackets and other items over the past five years. Thank you for being part of Warm Hearts!
About Warm Hearts:
Warm Hearts is a community project, organized by the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council and presented by Affinity Credit Union, that gives damaged or worn winter jackets and outerwear a second life. By repairing and re-homing these items, we help keep people warm through the cold months while also diverting wearable clothing from the landfill.
While the project is currently on hiatus, when it is running we collect jackets and snow pants in need of repair through our partner drop-off locations in cities around SK. Volunteers then take the items home, mend them on their own time, and donate them to local organizations. From there, the clothing is given out for free to people in need.
We are very thankful for the volunteers in the winter of 2025-2026 who repaired 102 winter items, bringing our total to 924 over the last five years. Not only were these items diverted from the landfill, but they regained their value and were redistributed back into the community free of charge.
