LOGAN — Utah’s annual Warm Bodies, Warm Souls clothing drive kicked off Monday, uniting three homegrown businesses — Bank of Utah, Arctic Circle and Red Hanger — to collect warm winter essentials for individuals and families across the state.
The drive runs from Nov. 3 through Nov. 21, gathering donations for 15 nonprofit organizations that serve communities from Logan to St. George.
“Families and single adults line up for meals in every kind of weather,” said Stacey Gallegos, community outreach director for St. Anne’s Center & Lantern House. “A dependable coat, dry boots or a warm blanket can be the difference between getting sick or finishing the day strong. Warm Bodies, Warm Souls brings our community together and stretches our budget so our team can spend more time on important housing and employment work.”
Several drop-off sites are located in Northern Utah, including:
-
Bank of Utah Logan: 5 East 1400 North, Logan
-
Arctic Circle – Logan: 545 East 1400 North, Suite 100
-

Bank of Utah Tremonton: 25 North Tremont St., Tremonton
-

- Bank of Utah Brigham City: 80 East 800 South, Brigham City
Donors are encouraged to bring gently used coats, hats, scarves, gloves and blankets, as well as new socks and underwear. Each donation earns a thank-you coupon for a free Arctic Circle Double Cheeseburger or a free shirt cleaning at Red Hanger.
“Every fall, we watch Utahns rally and bring in not just gently used items but handmade scarves, thoughtfully bundled outfits and more,” said Megan Kenley, Bank of Utah’s assistant vice president of communications and marketing. “It’s humbling to witness that spirit of giving, and inspiring to know those donations will be shared among 15 deserving charities statewide.”
Since its first year in 2011 — with only a brief pause during the pandemic — the Warm Bodies, Warm Souls campaign has delivered hundreds of bags of clothing to Utahns in need.
