Coats & Cans Donation Drive 

Help BOS bring hope, support, and warmth to those in our community.
During the month of October, BOS is hosting a community donation drive across all of our branch locations to help make an impact in the communities we serve. 

Items We Are Collecting:
  • Winter Outerwear: New or gently worn coats, hats, and gloves in both adult and youth sizes.
  • Pantry Staples: New, unopened, shelf-stable canned and boxed food items.
How to Participate:

Donations can be dropped off to any BOS branch location anytime during normal business hours from October 1st through October 31st.

We believe true community banking keeps its impact close to home. All donations collected by each BOS branch will go directly to a charity or non-profit organization chosen by that specific BOS team to support the local community.
