Martha’s Table Expands Winter Coat Distribution for 2025

As the temperatures drop, a warm coat can mean so much more than seasonal protection—it can restore dignity, confidence, and comfort. Martha’s Table is making sure DC neighbors have reliable access to winter wear by expanding its approach to coat distribution this year.

What’s Changing

Instead of concentrating distribution into one day, Martha’s Table will provide new and gently used coats throughout the entire season at Martha’s Outfitters, its no-cost clothing boutique in the heart of Anacostia. This shift ensures that families can find the right coat when they need it most, reducing long lines and creating more flexibility.

About Martha’s Outfitters

Martha’s Outfitters offers more than coats. It’s a community resource where DC residents can select clothing in a welcoming, respectful environment. The boutique provides professional attire, children’s clothing, and other wardrobe essentials—all at no cost—celebrating the dignity of choice while fostering community support.
