Our goal is to provide any person in need with a warm coat, free of charge.

Providing this simple, yet vital, need helps people live productive lives year round.

One Warm Coat helps local organizations collect and distribute coats in their own community.


#2 FAQ -- WHEN TO HOLD A COAT DRIVE

A question we hear often is: "When should we hold our drive?" and we usually answer: when YOU have the time.

troop Junior Girl Scout Troop 11248 of The Woodlands, Texas decided summer was perfect for their troop. Lots of time to organize the drive and sort coats. More than 170 coats were delivered to the Women's Center.

They celebrated their success with a swim party!


COSTUMED CHARACTERS AND COATS

The LaMorinda Mom's Club will soon be hosting their annual Halloween Costume Party and One Warm Coat drive.

In addition to bobbing for apples, the children enjoy stuffing the coats into the collection box -- and the mothers are happy to have their closets cleaned out, knowing they are helping those in need in their community.


RADIO PSAs ARE EASY TO CREATE

music notes Your local radio station can help you create a public service announcement that will tell folks about your coat drive.

A CD with the One Warm Coat song is sent with each Promo Package. The CD has a 30 second track which makes a great background for your message. You can hear an example on the One Warm Coat website.
