Call for Coats
With the help of our loyal customers, we gather coats every October and November. Our team then cleans these coats and donates them to numerous local charitable organizations. Over the last three decades, we have donated over 100,000 coats.
Would you like to donate your coats?
Call (410) 267-8381 or email: customerservice@admiralcleaners.com. If you’re interested in helping us continue this worthy tradition, just bring in coats that are lightly worn or new to any of our Admiral Cleaners’ locations. You can also leave your coats in a separately marked bag for your route driver. Together, we can keep this tradition and the people we help thriving.
Helping Local Non-profits
We believe in supporting organizations that support our community. That’s why we continue to donate gift certificates for various non-profit auction events. We jump at the chance to help raise money for good causes.
Providence Center Partnership
We are proud to have three Providence Center team members who work at one of our locations sorting hangers.
Naval Academy Athletics
We are proud to support the Naval Academy Athletic Association through a unique partnership to keep the athletic staff looking their best on game day.
