COTS Phonathon

The COTS Phonathon is our oldest fundraiser. Each year volunteers call past supporters to ask for support. Join us in supporting the homeless community by participating. Together, we can make a difference!

Volunteer for the Phonathon

The COTS Phonathon is our oldest, and one of our most important fundraisers! It is pivotal for our programs. Since the 80's, the week after Thanksgiving, dedicated supporters call our donors and ask them if they will once again make a gift to COTS this year. It is a cozy holiday atmosphere!

This year's Phonathon runs from Dec 2- Dec 5 from 5:30 pm -8 pm.

You can help by either calling our donors or Phone-A-Friending- no voice to voice contact necessary.

All aspects of the Phonathon can be done virtually, but Monday, you will have the option of joining us in person to kick it off. There will be food, drinks, and likeminded community members.

Hosting an offsite calling party is a great option for many professionals who would like to give back to the community while gathering together during the holiday season. We can come speak to your group!

Phone-A-Friend is for those of you who don't love talking on the phone (totally reasonable.) We ask that you text, email, DM, Facebook message, or contact someone in your network any other way and ask them to make a gift to COTS.

Watch Romy, our Communications and Event Manager, show you how easy it is to volunteer for the Phonathon!
