During this busy time, I'd like to share the news that's making this month truly a December to remember. As I write this, Organizers with creativity and energy like yours have signed up to hold almost 2,200 drives. Agencies with your warm hearts and commitment are delivering warm coats directly to those who need them most. And our Sponsors are finding unique and fabulous new ways to build awareness of the need. Also this month, an expanding group of celebrities are joining us in doing this important work and showing others how easy it is to make a difference.

 One Woman, One Great Idea - Loads of Coats! Organizer Karen Marcellino of Lutherville, Maryland is one of a kind! She started her own coat drive in her front yard, and she makes it sound easy. After registering her drive, she placed a large donation bin in her yard, posted her One Warm Coat signs, contacted neighbors and friends - and then watched the coats appear! Karen has no website or organization staff. She simply emails friends and sends Facebook reminders about her donation box. She and her son Anthony have collected 75 coats so far! With her giving spirit and her take-action nature, Karen's drive reminds us that sometimes it takes only one person to make a difference for so many! |
