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.


IF ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

what can two people do? We send congratulations and blessings to two couples who celebrated their marriage with a One Warm Coat drive.


SHARE YOUR STORIES AND PHOTOS

In the fifteen+ years that we've been supporting coat drives, we've heard wonderful stories and have been amazed at how giving and kind people can be.

We'll be updating our Website this summer and would like to include photographs from your coat drives.


GMA girl What a way to warm up the country! ABC News' Good Morning America partnered with Burlington Coat Factory stores and One Warm Coat to collect coats for those in need.

Ben Affleck tossing in the first coats with Diane Sawyer was a great way to begin -- and the momentum kept coming. Broadway and television stars brought in coats; neighboring businesses donated coats; schools organized coat drives -- each week was full of surprises.

Working with the Good Morning America team was awesome. They embraced the spirit of One Warm Coat and encouraged millions of viewers to clean their closets and donate their extra coats.

The six-week long WARM COATS & WARM HEARTS drive was an overwhelming success with more than 175,000 coats being donated.


A DRUM ROLL PLEASE -----

It's been a great year --- heartfelt thanks to the thousands of people who volunteered to organize a coat drive and to those who donated a coat.

We had the opportunity to work with over 500 local social service agencies this year and the work they do to support those in need is truly inspiring.

Curious about the final numbers? More than 2,000 coat drives resulting in over 300,000 coats being collected.
