Carapella & Co. Cares Clothing Drive

Carapella & Co. Customs has officially launched its 1st annual Carapella & Co. Cares Holiday Clothing Drive, a community effort aimed at keeping central Iowa families warm this winter. The drive will run from November 1 through December 14, 2025, collecting new and gently used winter clothing for adults and children in need. In addition to clothing; travel sized toiletries and womens products are always sought after donations.

Donation boxes are located at partner businesses throughout the Des Moines metro area, where community members can drop off coats, hats, gloves, sweatshirts, and other warm clothing. All items collected will be delivered directly to local shelters and community organizations ahead of the holidays.

Community members and businesses interested in contributing or hosting a donation box can contact Carapella & Co. Customs directly or visit www.carapellaandco.com for more information and a list of drop-off locations.
