One Warm Coat

We are a small but mighty food pantry. This winter we distributed more than 2400 winter coats to our clients. We couldn’t have done it without the support of One Warm Coat. The timing of the coat drives throughout the winter suited our space constraints perfectly. And the coats received through One Warm Coat drives consistently met our quality standards!
They are response and easy to work with.

Partnering with One Warm Coat was an incredible experience for our organization. With their generous donation of children’s coats and helpful guidance on collecting community donations, we were able to gather over 140 coats for our 2024 distribution. Their resources, including tax donation receipts, made the process seamless. The support from local churches, community members, and agencies was overwhelming, and our two-day event was a huge success. Serving as the main contact for our agency, I truly appreciated One Warm Coat’s mission and professionalism. We’re grateful for the partnership and look forward to future collaborations!!

Through One Warm Coat, our organization was able to partner with two new corporate groups on coat donations (one renewed from the previous year). We are incredibly grateful for One Warm Coat to connecting us with generous folks in our community not only provided coat and winter clothing donations, but will have long-lasting partnership opportunities.

Harvest Compassion Center is a community partner of One Warm Coat. Over the past few years, One Warm Coat has connected us to several amazing businesses that have donated quality coats and cold-weather gear for our clients at our food and clothing bank. One Warm Coat communicates clearly, is easy to work with and a great nonprofit partner! Thank you, One Warm Coat, for all you do for the communities you serve!

The partnership with One Warm Coat has been amazing. We've received over 100 coats this past winter, and they are always willing to help us receive more. We've also been able to connect with local businesses/vendors to help serve more people with donations. Thank you One Warm Coat!

Hello! Any way I could help and be involved in distributing coats I would love to. Thanks.

Food Bank For New York City is grateful for One Warm Coat's support since the pandemic. To provide warmth through a meal and coat is an incredible opportunity to support our neighbors. We are so thankful to One Warm Coat for their generosity to the New York City community.

Great organization that does great work supporting local CBO's and uplifting their work!

One Warm Coat is amazing! They are very easy to work with and super respnsive to inquiries. We rely on clothing donations from individuals as well as companies to help us meet the immediate needs of our neighbors in need. However, while we receive some clothing, coats are almost impossible to come by. It is really hard to tell a child we don't have something warm for them to wear in the winter or to tell a struggling parent we can't help them provide for their child(ren)'s basic necessities. One Warm Coat has come to our rescue to help us meet these needs for many struggling families. We love partnering with them. They are able to connect with multitudes of people to gather coats and we are able to distribute them to many in need. We look forward to our continued collaboration with them. Thank you One Warm Coat for all you do!!!

I represent a school for adult English learners from around the world. Imagine being a newcomer from a warm (even hot!) climate, arriving in Minneapolis in the middle of January, with not only yourself to keep warm, but other family members, as well. This happens every year at our school. We are so grateful to One Warm Coat, for connecting our school with generous coat donations for our students. The care of OWC and the quality of these donations offer our hard-working students safety, dignity, and peace of mind, letting them focus on the important work of acclimating to a new place and community. Thank you, One Warm Coat, for all of your efforts on behalf of our school community.

Great experience that brought warmth to so many in need. Tracking was provided so we can get an accurate ETA of the donations being received.

The privilege of serving on the OWC board has been life changing for me and my family. The gift of warmth is so impactful to the many who receive it. The work Beth and her team do is nothing short of incredible.

One Warm Coat is an exceptional organization, providing a necessity that every person deserves, to guard against the elements of winter…a warm coat. The organization is well run and provides a platform for people and companies with open hearts to help their neighbors stay warm. One Warm Coat is hero to many communities.

I have become involved with One Warm Coat as a donor, volunteer and board member. It has been a pleasure to become associated with an organization that not only does very good work, but does so very efficiently with minimal overhead. First and foremost, we should all care about helping those in need. But, doing so in a fashion that also promotes volunteerism in communities and addresses sustainability challenges by keeping usable clothing out of landfills is of great benefit as well. One Warm Coat is truly and caring and smartly run organization.

I love the attainability and simplicity of One Warm Coat's mission - to provide warmth for children and adults. Anyone even remotely interested in volunteerism and community - can help. As a board member, I see from the inside of the organization how much careful planning, impeccable coordination, care, and dedication One Warm Coat's team has in delivering the mission.

I have been a board member with One Warm Coat for over six years and in my opinion and experiences, haven't been part of a more inspirational organization with a clear purpose and mission, that changes lives. It's hard to imagine not having warmth - which to me is such a basic necessity. But at One Warm Coat, we see and hear story after story where a children or adult doesn't have the means or ability to own a coat and it's our ambition and mission to help all in need.

In addiiton, our CEO and team is made up with highly capibable and passionate employees that work tirelessly in support of the mission of One Warm Coat and are a huge pleasure to work with and see the majic that happens each and every day.

I am very blessed to be the Board Chair and be part of a very diverse board, all that equally share the passion to see One Warm Coat grow and continue to provide coats to our agencies, children and adults in need.

I first became involved with One Warm Coat as a Donor and was VERY impressed that for as little as $1 you provide warmth to someone in need. One Warm Coat's focus on helping those in need, as well as, fostering volunteerism, and environmental sustainability checks all the boxes. The people running the organization are very kind and caring. I have had the privilege to contribute on a larger scale to this philanthropy as a Board Member. I am EXTREMEMLY excited about the future of OWC continuing to help provide warmth and kindness to those in need (including the homeless, elderly, veterans, and school children). The world is a better place because of organizations like this!

One Warm Coat does excellent work proving free costs for people in need all across the United States of America. Their selfless work is making a huge difference. I’m honored to support and partner with this great organization!

I have been involved with OWC for 5 years. This organization has been virtual since day one and has a distributed model with partner organizations that allow the non-profit to impact both locally and nationally, The organization is a great steward of resources, finds innovative ways to cooperate with industry and focuses on making it super easy to hold coat drives.

We have been holding a coat drive at our business with One Warm Coat for the last 3 years. We continue to sponsor One Warm Coat because of the ease of the process, being able to easy find an organization to take the coats, and the materials/resources we use to promote our coat drive. One Warm Coat is an organization we do not want to stop supporting!

One Warm Coat supports Dorcas Heart a local non-profit organization with donations of coats. The coats helps keep unhoused guests warm, allowing us to make an impact in our local communities by doing good! Thank you One Warm Coat for your partnership and all you do in the community.

One Warm Coat is a partner that we rely on heavily to help us serve the needs of our community. Through our partnership with them and their network, we have received coats, blankets, food, sleeping bags, and more. On October 6, 2022, we hosted an event in the City of Compton where 300 coats and 600 lbs of food was distributed to our unhoused and low-income neighbors who struggle to make ends meet. So many parents expressed gratitude to us for providing coats for their children when they didn't have the means to do so. One of the most important things we can do for our neighbors is to provide them with warmth. This can be in the form of blankets, clothing, or even just a place to stay warm. The cold can be deadly, and many homeless people don't have the means to keep themselves warm. By providing warmth, we can help prevent deaths and make life a little bit easier for those who are already struggling. One Warm Coat has always come through for us. We greatly appreciate their allyship.

One Warm Coat provided our Homeless Youth Shelter in St Augustine, Fl with lots of new sportswear in a variety of sizes and colors! You can imagine the joy it brought to some of the youth who had never owned new clothing. Thank you for your generosity!

CityTeam Oakland and San Francisco, which serve the homeless and those living in poverty, has been able to bless hundreds of men, women and children through One Warm Coat drives. These coats are a life saver during the cold winter months, or foggy summer months, when the unsheltered have no heat or other way to stay warm. We are so grateful for all of the companies and individuals who take their time to donate to this great cause!

CityTeam

One Warm Coat has been an honor to work with over the years. They have donated to our organization, Sidewalk Samaritan, and with new coats, they always included something extra such as neck warmers. They are so lovely to talk to and reach out on their own to see if anything is needed. THANK YOU for everything you do!

THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME

I didn’t know what to do.. I felt like committing suicide, but fortunately for me, my friend introduced me to a cyber crime investigator ( Mr. Morris Gray )who also helps in recovering lost invested funds, After working with him, to my greatest surprise, in just few days I got all my lost funds back, and he only took just 15% out of the recovered funds, if you have been scammed with fake forex you don’t need to be scared or worried, because you can also reach him on his email: MorrisGray830 At Gmail dot com
He will recover your lost bitcoins back fast and smoothly...

And you will be amazed….!!!

Each year this partnership has helped us to provide warm winter coats to those in need.

The press that One Warm Coat provides is excellent allowing support from others that may not have another way to be informed.

My retail partner, never contacted me before, during or after the event.

One Warm and their partners is a great nonprofit in making sure disadvantage families get needed sweaters and coats for the cold winter months. Our residents from a affordable property look forward coming to the offices to see what is available for their families.

The One Warm Coat program helped us to distributed much need it coats to our participants specially during the coat pandemic and many families lost their jobs and were doing their best to take care of themselves and their children. One warm coat is doing a great job assisting organization such as JCHHOMES to help as many in needs as possible.

It seems that with one warm coat I have enough to provide for the community that I service. the majority of the time good coats, slightly used ! thank You!

There had never been a Cost Drive with any Milatary Organization. I reached out to One Warm coat to ask a few questions. From the start, they were professional, educational and most of all excited to help our homeless veterans.

It was one of the most exciting events that we have done

This is a gd platform to express my.
Concern. Ive been trying very hard to receive a coat from ur org. N for the life of me I was not helped. So since I've finally have the means of communication with u through this message system can u help me please?

One Warm Coat helped provide coats for over 50 children served by our non-profit in the Spartanburg, SC and surrounding area. We at Recovery Oriented Practices greatly appreciate the support.

Our organization serves women and children within our community who are living in economic hardship. This past year has been especially difficult for many of our guests. One Warm Coat provided us with countless supplies to assist our families during the winter months. One guest in particular who arrived from Florida recently, came to us wearing a blanket with her grandson in tow. We were able to let them each choose a brand new coat and we also provided them with hats, gloves and scarves. Thank you so much for making it possible for us to help keep our community warm!

Our coat drive started off slow and all of a sudden the coats just started pouring in!!! I had an 11year old say, "Now I can make a snow angel!!!", after receiving a snowsuit this winter.

It's remarkable how you can make a family smile by providing warm winter gear!!! HATS OFF TO ONE WARM COAT!!! It truly makes all the differences!!!

One Warm Coat provided our students with 200 amazing coats. This will surely keep them warm throughout these cold and wet months! Thank you so much One Warm Coat!!!

Y.E.L.L is a mentoring program for urban youth, we distribute coats for the children we serve as well as their families. Warm coats has allowed us to give away over 200 coats this winter. It has been a pleasure serving our community. Thank you Warm Coat.

The Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry serves homeless people in Augusta, Ga. While attending a ministerial gathering in Philadelphia, our organization met a pastor’s wife from California that befriended us and told us about this great organization. We applied to this organization and was accepted as a partner. I want to say that they have the vision, professionalism and capabilities to deliver massive coats to the homeless. The Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry, as a nonprofit, are one of many of their feet on the ground. We were paired with a local business that gave us new coats for homeless men. These coats met a physical need but also an emotional need to tell these men that they are not alone and that someone really cares. People will give if they know who to give too. Jessica, the agency coordinator, stayed connected with my nonprofit following the route of the coats’ delivery until we received them. My only wish is that my organization can be paired with a national retail coat drive so that we could meet the needs of women especially those with children too little to understand this missing basic necessity but big enough to experience cold weather and lack.

As the Pastor of Alpha and Omega Mission Bible Church and Destined and Designed by Faith Outreach Ministries have utilized the services of One Warm Coat as a distributor to the homeless and underprivileged for over 7 years. We have been extremely satisfied with the the care and the response of the client as well as the retailers. Destined and designed by Faith Outreach Ministries will continue to use these Services as we help two feed and clothe the homeless, impoverished and underprivileged here in the city of Richmond Virginia. Thank you One Warm Coat!!!

We at Saving Grace Outreach get donations from One Warm Coat and serve all our area schoolchildren in Cattaraugus, NY that are in need of a coat, hats, gloves, and boots. Thank you for allowing people to know that agencies like ours take in donations and bless those in need! Keep up the good work.

We, at Jerome D. Mack Middle School were honored to see that we were chosen to receive your generous donation of 100 warm jackets. Our special delivery was received on Friday 2/7/2020. Thank you for your great generosity. Your gift has already started to impact our students. Your support helps our students staying warm and wanting to come to school...
Your support is invaluable to us. Thank you again.

I work at a large elementary school in Queens, NY. We were in desperate need of coats for our kids. I reached out to Program Director Jen Haynes to see if she had any leads, and she immediately connected us to a private company looking to donate brand new coats. The coats arrived within 2 weeks and were very high quality. Our kids LOVED them, and we are so grateful!!! Thank you again!

One Warm Coat has been a blessing to Boys & Girls Clubs of Contra Costa. It has been a challenge finding coats in the winter for all the youth we serve (and who are in desperate need), and then we learned of One Warm Coat. From the CEO to the DOD to the entire staff, they have all been extremely helpful in helping our organization. We didn't know what to expect this first year since we just started the relationship, but we also knew that something would be better than nothing. Well. Fast forward 2 months, and we are now in possession of 500+ coats to distribute this winter season. Again. One Warm Coat. A true Blessing!

Thanks to One Warm Coat, during the winter of 2018/19 the Montgomery County (PA) Dept. of Health and Human Services was able to distribute over 700 coats to county residents in need! We received so many offers to be the beneficiary of coat drives that I had to turn donors away. One Warm Coat made that possible!
From the elderly program participant who was wearing a sweater in cold weather, to the homeless man who heard about the free coats and came in, to the multitude of women who came in to get coats for their children, and were overjoyed to find something for themselves - THANK YOU! The level of need is great - but the generosity and goodness in the world is even greater!!!

Our Daily Bread has partnered with One Warm Coat and it has been such a great experience. We were able to help so many of our clients stay warm this winter with so many donated coats. Thank you!!!

City Rescue Mission has teamed up with One Warm Coat for many years and it has been a wonderful partnership. We serve hundreds of the needy homeless through out Oklahoma City . From our clients who are here at the mission for a short period of time in their life to the many street homeless in Oklahoma City we hand out coats as needed to help all of them though the cold Oklahoma weather be it rain, snow, ice or just plain cold weather we are there for them 7 days a week.
Thank you One Warm Coat you are a God sent program.

This is such a great organization! The temperatures here in the northeast can be brutal, but my school collected over 60 coats for those who need them. I think this was a wonderful learning experience for the students.

We work with One Warm Coat every year--we are with St. Vincent de Paul of Seattle King County. They do phenomenal work and we benefit greatly from how they help us secure coat donations to give to needy people during the winter. Thank you One Warm Coat.

I am the Director of SmileFaith Foundation Community Center in Jenkins, KY. SmileFaith does free charitable dental care, health and wellness programs, and is currently opening up a wellness/recreational center in our community. One of our programs called Unity Mission Outreach just received a generous donation of 400 very nice, brand new coats from One Warm Coat.Unity Mission Outreach partners with local, regional churches, and nonprofits to help provide everyday necessities for struggling families. We live in an impoverished Appalachian coal town where the collapse of the coal industry has created hardship for many families. I cant thank One Warm Coat as well as the retailers who donate to this organization enough! I am also very grateful for the ministries who are working alongside of us to help distribute the coats to those in need. All of the staff at One Warm Coat are so friendly, kind, and caring.

Love this organization partnered with them in 2018 our organization peace love & unity outreach received over 100 coats for children and families through one warm coat awesome and well needed resource thank you one warm coat you guys rock

I have held a coat drive for the past three years with the guidance and help of OWC. I used to work in a school where kids would come to school in the middle of winter without coats. That’s when I went searching for an organization and found OWC. I have been able to facilitate and help over 7 shelters and schools in New York City. I hands down could not have been able to do it without OWCs resources. I am looking forward to the winters to come. THANK YOU OWC, Broadway loves you!

Will forever love this organization! I have started doing it with my daughter when she was two and I plan to continue to do it with her for many years! I love the fact that anyone, at all ages, can help make a difference in their community!

Our family started the "In Memory of Amy" One Warm Coat Drive in 2011. Amy died of ALS and, in lieu of flowers, asked that everyone do something good for the community. We went online to see what we could do and One Warm Coat was at the top of the list. They made it so very easy to collect coats, advertise, find a local charity and distribute the coats to those in need. It was so easy, in fact, that we have been collecting coats every year on the anniversary of Amy's death. We collected over 2,000 this year and have met so many nice people along the way. "Amy's idea" and "One Warm Coat" were a perfect match. We are grateful to One Warm Coat for all they have done to help us along the way.

As our key coat drive partner - OWC has helped us raise the level of visibility and community corporate support. We are privileged to garner the support of this great organization!

One Warm Coat is one of the best businesses to work with. I am so happy about the relationship I have forged with them. It is so good to work with people who truly care about others. I wish there were more organizations like this one

We serve families in Northern Philadelphia. And One Warm Coat has been a great opportunity for us to help cloth children and families displaced from Puerto Rico this year. When I registered I could not have imagined the pouring of support that we have received. Our children and families are very appreciative, as are we. Thank you One Warm Coat. Great Job.

Wonderful group to work with. Very professional and helpful with any questions you need to create your donation center. Wonderful group, wonderful cause!

Loved working with this organization - we had a great event for our Chamber of Commerce and helped warm 48 people with coats.

I have held a few coat drives and I love dropping off the coats to agencies and seeing the happy faces of those who could use the donations.
One Warm Coat sends out a fantastic coat drive kit so that the drive looked professional and crisp.
Can't wait til this winter season

I work for a startup in SOMA-SF and we did a month-long coat drive. We exceeded our goals and people were excited to get a weekly update of our numbers (of coats and donations). Everything was so easy to do, from set up to emailing Patti to get our donation figures...seemless! Will definitely do another drive next year.

Several Tokio Marine companies participated in a One Warm Coat "coast to coast" drive from January to February 2017. The coat drive was a challenging task as we had to organize six collection sites throughout the country. We established conservative goals to collect 300 coats for the selected local non-profits and raise $3,000 for One Warm Coat. Through the tremendous support of the One Warm Coat team and the generosity of Tokio Marine's employees, we exceeded our goals by collecting over 1,200 coats and raising over $17,000. One Warm Coat is very worthy cause and one the "Good Company" team would encourage other organizations to support.

I work with a non-profit that has received many coats from donations coordinated through One Warm Coat. They are organized and respond promptly to any emails, which is so appreciated. The amount of drives that we have been connected to because of this organization has made such a difference to our clients! Thank you!

I set up a children's coats collection through tenino antique mall, and collected more than 50 coats that we then donated to the Olympia family center nonprofit. It was a wonderful experience and one coat sent me all the tools that I needed to get it started. We will be doing it again next year. Thanks again Melodie

Acting as Portland YouthBuilders’ coordinator for this year’s One Warm Coat drive was quite the experience! Since it was my first time doing anything like this, especially on the impressive scale of coats we received, One Warm Coat was there every step of the way to help. Its expertise at procuring partnerships with local businesses enabled us to serve all the students here at Portland YouthBuilders! We had so many coats, most of our students were fortunate enough to go home with more than one if they needed. And with those almost two solid months of random and unforgiving weather, the kindness of the community through the leadership of One Warm Coat would have definitely been missed. We are grateful to everyone who donates and contributes to this wonderful organization in the good works it does. Portland YouthBuilders looks forward to re-upping again next winter season.

I am excited to attend another One Warm Coat event hosted by Brooke. I have attended them in the past and not only love the idea, but appreciate the way in which Brooke handled and presented the event. I look forward to the upcoming event and I am happy to hang on to the spare coats in our closet for such a fabulous cause.

I attended an event a few years back run by Brooke Cabot at Lagunitas in Petaluma Ca. It was such a fun event and Brooke did an amazing job hosting, gathering the raffle items and getting people to donate coats. Brooke is constantly working hard behind the scenes and promoting all her events. We are attending the next even by Brooke in January 2017.
An amazing cause to help others. One simple step to help our fellow humans.
An amazing organization.
Thank you!

As an Event Coordinator and Volunteer who has worked with multiple companies over the years, One Warm Coat has been a great non-profit organization to work with on an annual basis! Not only have our past events been successful the day of, the process of registering, coordinating and keeping in touch with their Corporate staff has been streamlined and effective. Their website walks you through how to begin the process whether you are new to fundraising or an experienced "fundraising veteran" like myself. Highly recommended organization to work with if you are looking for a great way to connect and help out in your community!

Our National Honor Society worked with One Warm Coat to organize a winter coat drive for those in need. The service was very helpful in sending materials for advertising the drive, and played a supportive role in linking us up with local organizations that we could donate the coats to. We had absolutely no problems working with One Warm Coat.

They helped me organize several coat drives and to find worthy organizations to donate them to. One Warm Coat is an Amazing organization ♡♡

One Warm Coat has been so influential in getting our guests here at St. Anthony's Free Clothing Program the warm coats they need. Coats are always a critically needed item of our guests and thanks to the generous support of One Warm Coat we always know that we have coats coming during the holiday season.

Thank you so much for donating all of the wonderful, warm coats for the coat drive. This was our first annual coat drive. We were able to give coats to over 500 women, men, & children. Many of those that we served were homeless or just could not afford to buy coat for themselves and their children. Thanks to the One Warm Coat Organization we were able to put a smile on the faces of a lot of people in need, and help keep them warm from the rough winter.

I was grateful for a coat drive that was held under the name One Warm Coat. When they dropped off the coats to our organization we had just handed out our last coat. What a blessing.

OWC is a great organization. They made it really easy to have community members donate coats to a good cause with the posters provided by OWC. Thank you very much! We plan on making this a yearly event to help those in need.

I am the manager of St. Anthony's Free Clothing Program in San Francisco and there is literally no way we would be able to serve our guests without the help of One Warm Coat. We serve over 10,000 men, women and children every year, many of them suffering the plight of homelessness, and given the fact that it is always winter in San Francisco except for a week or two of summer, coats are always in high demand.

It is an absolute pleasure to work with everybody at One Warm Coat. They make the process of organizing coat drives and getting the coats to those in need as simple and easy as possible, which not only produce amazing results but also increases awareness throughout the community of the issues of poverty and homelessness and the importance of doing something about it. Last year in just 1 day, they collected over 1,000 coats for us during their Ferry Building Coat Drive, and I would estimate that over the entire year, the amount was 10 times that.

I cannot say enough good things about them and I would highly recommend them to programs, donors, volunteers, basically anybody who would listen to me.

You guys are awesome last year was my first year organizing a coat drive. The flyers you guys send me and the posters helped a lot. Thank you!

In the midst of last year's horrible winter weather, I decided that I'd like the students at the elementary school where I teach to engage in a service learning project which would involve collecting coats for the needy. i knew that I should have started the project before winter began and it would be important for me to distribute the coats as soon as possible after collecting them. One Warm Coat sent me large publicity banners to hang in our school lobby announcing the coat drive and also answered all my questions on their website. I was able to enter our school zip code and find a number of worthwhile charities near our school that were willing to pick up the coats. Within 10 days, we collected over 300 coats for men, women, and children. We donated the coats to a center for homeless veterans and a shelter for abused women and their children. This project involved minimum work on my part and was extremely rewarding to students, parents, and faculty.

One Warm Coat made it so easy for my students to hold their coat drive. We started by using the website to find a local shelter to donate to. The website is so user friendly, it was a breeze to learn everything we needed to know and find our local shelter in 20 minutes tops.
Then, faster than we could make our own posters, One Warm Coat sent us a supply packet filled with high quality resource materials, from banners, to stickers, they even included receipts for our donors. The whole process was so smooth and our coat drive was a big success, and I don't think it would have been without One Warm Coat.

What a GREAT and WORTHY organization!!! We sponsored a Coat Drive Christmas, 2013. I own a Beauty Salon in Minden, Nevada. There are 6 stylists and 1 manicurist. In 30 days, we collected 125 coats; just by word of mouth; from people that were so grateful that the coats were to be given away...not sold.

We were so proud to be a part of One Warm Coat drive!!!

Thank You.

I organized a coat drive through One Warm Coat for our entire school district (3 elementary schools, a middle school and high school).

The support materials given to us from One Warm Coat helped to make this the best drive we have ever had.

The 2 food pantry/shelters that took all of the donated coats were amazed at all of the coats that were donated.

I will definitely use One Warm Coat again next school year!

I organized a coat drive in my neighborhood through "One Warm Coat". The welcome package included everything we needed - signs, tax receipts, stickers for the boxes. We had a donation spot at a local yoga studio and made it easy for anyone to drop off coats. A certificate afterwards was a nice touch.

I organized a coat drive at my daughter's school through "One Warm Coat." It was easy and straightforward and gave me all the information and resources I needed. I liked that I didn't have to speak to anyone, go to any meetings or trainings, etc. I did everything via email in the middle of the night, then posted the information at my daughter's school. When the end of the coat drive came, I brought the coats to our chosen recipient (also arranged via email), and we had a lovely meeting in which she gave me and my kids a tour of the facility. Parents at our school felt good, and almost everyone had a coat to give to someone in need.

I very much appreciate the organization and clarity of "One Warm Coat." We will be organizing another coat drive through them next year. Thanks!

The company I work for decided to participate in a coat drive fairly late in the season. One Warm Coat made it easy and simple to take part and select an organization in our own community. I was confident our donations would be greatly appreciated and helpful to those most in need, knowing we were helping our fellow Arkansans.

"One Warm Coat" was easy to work with and helpful to the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany, NY. They helped us provide hundreds of coats for those less fortunate in our community? We let them know we desired to work with local companies and they connected us with Burlington Coat Factory. We were able to pick up "gently used"coats weekly and help others with their basic need of a warm coat! Thank you "One Warm Coat"!

Arlington Life Shelter, the homeless shelter in Arlington, Texas, has been a recipient of this wonderful effort for many years. The men, women, and children we serve are so grateful for the gift of warmth, and we as an agency are so grateful for this wonderful partnership.

Each year my company receives about 1000 to 1500 warm coats to pass out in Long Beach Ca. since we are the only organization that collects the coats for distribution, we really appreciate their efforts of putting together and organizing the drives. the people who receive the coats come from all over Long Beach. we give them out as we receive them. Our annual Christmas event and early January is the best time for us. All the Coats, sweaters and jackets that we recieve are brand new or gentlely worn, but everyone of these items are appericated by those who receive them.

SafeHaven of Tarrant County, an agency that shelters women and children who are victims of domestic violence has benefited greatly from the coats collected on our behalf through a One Warm Coat Drive.
To provide our women and children residing at our Shelters with a clean new or gently used coat is a priceless gift. Thank you, One Warm Coat, for making the process so easy for donors!

Winters in the Midwest can be brutal. It is heart-breaking to see so many individuals in our area without the winter coats they need to keep them warm. That's where One Warm Coat has come to the rescue, providing much-needed winter clothing for those who need it most--the poor and the homeless in our town and in other neighboring towns. We are most grateful for the valuable service they provide!

One Warm Coat is an excellent source for the gathering and planning in hosting a coat drive. I'm not sure how they sent me banners and stickers and flyers but it was WONDERFUL because it made the cost of sponsoring the clothing drive $0. Thank you One Warm Coat. I love helping people and you have made it so simple it's ridiculous not to help :)

We at The Emergency Assistance Center in Northfield, Ohio work with individuals who are in need of food, personal care goods and clothing. We are so extremely grateful for the partnership with One Warm Coat. Because of this organization, we were able to give winter coats to every person that walked through our doors. Currently we are seeing over 650 individuals and it was an absolute joy to have the honor of ensuring warmth during those cold Northeast Ohio months. Thank you on behalf of our clients!

A HUGE thank you to Burlington Coat Factory in Macedonia, Ohio. Evan, the General Manager, was outstanding in his help and support. We are profoundly grateful for Evan and his staff.

The Women's Committee through my CWA local has participated in collecting coats for the past four years. With the support of ONE Warm Coat we have been very successful. We have distributed thousands of mens, womens and childrens coats to those in need.

There is a wonderful satisfaction in helping people in our communities. One Warm Coat provides us with the structure , supplies and support which makes it possible to do this "good" work.

I am the Public Relations Director at Open Door Mission in Omaha, NE. We are a nonprofit that has been the recipient of a large number of coats, thanks to the partnership Open Door Mission has with One Warm Coat. The coat we receive through this drive go to help provide for many homeless and low income families and individuals in our community. It is a great honor to work with them.

As a small business looking for a local charity, OneWarm Coat fits the bill. It is so easy just to email them & they send you a wonderful sign so your clients know you are a collection spot. Your clients appreciate that the business they love to support, supports the community as well. It is a win-win. I have collected coats at my business a number of times with success.

Last fall (2012) was the first time my small business collected coats for their ONE WARM COAT winter drive. It was so easy to participate and locate a site to send the coats. My customers were very pleased to bring in their gently used coats, knowing that they would be worn again by someone less fortunate. Many others asked if we would be participating again this fall (2013).

For the past eight years our law firm has sponsored a warm coat and clothing drive to benefit another non-profit organization in our community. Without the success of One Warm Coat and its incredible and knowledgeable staff, I would not have been able to successfully organize our fundraiser event. A big WARM hug and thank you to One Warm Coat. Maria Z.

Each year Tracy Interfaith Ministries receives hundreds of coats and jackets through the efforts of One Warm Coat partnered with Burlington Coat Factory and other organizations who read about this program and decide to participate. We have about 4,000 men women and children coming to us each month for food and clothing. This program really helps us meet the needs of the under served in our community each winter when the weather turns cold and all are looking for "One Warm Coat".

One Warm Coat is a program that as they say" warms the community one warm coat at a time!"
American Self Storage held a coat drive using materials provided by One Warm Coat and it really benifits those in need . We donated the coats collected to the Women & Childrens Center local charity , wonderful program!
Thank you!!

HUNE is a not for profit that focuses it's services on children with disabilities educational needs. HUNE did our first One Warm Coat drive last year. Thanks to One Warm Coat many children with disabilities and their families were able to not only stay warm, but do it with style. Thank you warm coats for providing needy families with an everyday essential that otherwise would of been left out in the cold.

We have a new non profit organization. Last year we were referred to One Warm Coat & they were most helpful to us. They provided guidance in coat drives etc.

One Warm Coat is an excellent program that helped so many people on the West side of Chicago stay warm during the fall and winter seasons. They far exceeded my expectations in the amount of coats that would be collected for those in need. There donations brought many smiles to men, women, and children in the community that were without warm coats. So many people were able to benefit from their efforts. On behave of the members in the community we want to say "Thank You" for all that you do.

My daughter and I have been involved in Girl Scouting for many years now and have made One Warm Coat a part of our services projects almost every year. The organization excells in communication and organization. We feel confident that the coats we help collect are being distributed to the most worthy in our area. One Warm Coat is on our troop's plans for the coming year as well.

This organization keeps me updated all year long and supports my efforts to collect coats through my church. It is an easy way for anyone to get involved and we always have great success collecting and redistributing the coats.

One Warm Coat is a charity like no other. It is a "true" charity in that they collect new and gently worn coats and distribute them to those in need, ABSOLUTELY FREE, and no questions asked. No middle-man, no expensive TV ads. Their model is simple. Announce a coat drive, set up collection boxes, then distribute the coats you collect to shelters in your area. What could be easier? I have collected over 1500 coats in the past few years. I will do it again and again because everyone needs One Warm Coat.

My daughter started organizing a coat drive at school when she was 6 years old. She has had 2 drives to date and will continue this tradition each year. One Warm Coat helped us by providing flyers and advertising materials, as well as providing lists of potential organizations who might benefit from receiving coats and winter gear each year. From their list, my daughter was able to select a receiving non-profit organization that she felt passionate about. One Warm Coat also provided her with great follow up and certificates of appreciation for herself and the school, to help ensure the school continues to get involved each year. I found that any questions I had were answered promptly and always with a personal touch! A very important and wonderful organization to ensure that those less fortunate can keep warm during our harsh Toronto winters.

One Warm Coat has been wonderful in regards to helping us with the process of collecting gently used coats. Our church donates the coats to women and children who have needed to leave their homes because of abusive situations. The shelter at the YWCA then give each woman and child a free coat. Many thanks to One Warm Coat for their assistance.

I am a corporate colleague responsible for putting together community activities. Like many, my schedule is full and putting on a coat drive or any kind of activity needs to be easy... and it was with One Warm Coat. I received the use of their logo via electronic files and hard copy mail which made it easy for me to promote the coat drive. Also, Using One Warm Coat resources I was able to research and find a charity that would come and pick up the coats. It was easy and flawless with their help. Using One Warm Coat is a win/win situation!

Hello~ I am the Events Committee Coordinator for our campus in Tracy, CA. Working with One Warm Coat allowed us to successfully have a winter wear drive that generated much needed clothing for the needy of our community, plus over 50 coats! Needless to say, the drive was not only successful, it was an joint effort that in the end allowed us to bond by helping others in need. One Warm Coat was our source for support and knowledge. Their website is comprehensive and provides all the tools one needs to make a Coat Drive a reality. This was especially important for us because last year was the first time we had ever done it!

We are a non profit and I wanted to have a clothing drive to help the people in my community and because of them we were able to put coats on over 100 community members.

I am with St. Vincent de Paul in Seattle. One Warm Coat has helped us for years deliver warm coats to hundreds of needy children in our county. Their work is timely, heartfelt, effective and extraordinarily helpful when people need it most---in the winter when poor families are struggling for survival---and that is really the correct phrasing now. Things have changed in America. The less fortunate have less and One Warm Coat provides great help.

They are efficient because the plan well in advance and have a lot of moving pieces to coordinate. They do great work.

We need more charities like One Warm Coat.

I've been an educator at various middle schools since 2003. I have always tried to incorporate service learning in my curriculum and even taught a service learning mini course. One warm coat was one of my first projects that I did with my children. Armed with no experience contacted One warm coat. They took all the worry out of generating such a community based project. From the posting of your drive to ideas and support though out the entire project, to even following up on your drive. One warm coat even provides you with all of the advertising supplies that you need so you do not have to use hand-made signs.
There is such a need for the basic things like coats in the winter, in our communities today more then ever and thanks to organizations like One Warm Coat it is so easy to set up a project that allows you to do your part. If you know that there is a need in your community for such a drive as this, but are holding back because you do not know if you have the nohow, this is definitely for you ! One warm Coat will walk you through it step by step.

My Mission Center is located in the "hood" of North Saint Louis City, MO. There is poverty which means there is next to no money to purchase food let alone coats for children as well as adults. It is a high crime and addiction area. We have blessed them with the coats, gloves, scarves and hats donated to us from One Warm Coat. It is a wonderful program to help the needy and less fortunate in our city. It is our own "Haiti" in Saint Louis.

I organized a coat drive in Batesville, MS in January 2011. I was grateful for the promotional materials and other advice on getting the word out about the drive. I had five locations in the city and the people I asked were very cooperative. Once people in the community knew what I was doing, they joined and made the drive a SUCCESS! We collected over 100 coats and donated them to the Panola County Family and Children Services. Thanks for all you do at One Warm Coat!!

I work on a virtual team, we are all across the US, because of that its hard to find a volunteer event that everyone can take part in and will serve their own community. One Warm Coat was our answer. They team up with Burlington Coat Factory around the holidays we were able to donate across the US by using their store locations. Everyone send in photos of their donation so we could share in our goal of donating as a team.
With this being a different style of team donation I had question on us logging our coats and the best way to make it work and when I called the staff was friendly, helpful and excited that a virtual team was trying to come together for a common goal. I would and will work with them again.

For several years our company has conducted a winter coat drive for One Warm Coat . And every year I am surprised at how successful it turns out! We have had the privilege of working with the great people at One Warm Coat in Philadelphia area especially, Matrie Johnson. She really gets the coats moving out to the people who need them and also spread the warm of knowing someone cares.

We were so pleased to find OneWarmCoat. They were tremendously helpful in our company's drive to collect much needed clothing for a local organization.

Over the past 2 years I have had the privilege of helping One Warm Coat with collecting coats for those in need. Not only is it a great opportunity to give but OWC makes it so easy. I sign up online they send me the materials I need and I collect costs from friends, neighbors and co-workers then turn them all in at the designated areas. Something so simple has a huge impact and I am proud to be apart of it.

Here in New England where the weather is cold, a warm coat is a much needed item, your program "One Warm Coat" has provided us the opportunity to help many in need, this year alone we have given over 1000 coats to folks in the Waltham MA area, from the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen and MHSA, we thank you "One Warm Coat" your program is awsome.

Our facility chose to support One Warm Coat last year. Our contact was helpful and supportive, and made donating to this charity very easy. She sent us posters and props to use for our fundraiser in a timely manner. They still check in on us now. Nowadays charities make you feel like you have to have huge donations to make a difference. One Warm Coat did not make us feel that way, which is why we will choose to donate to them again at some point. We were completely satisfied with our experience with this charity.

Our Brownie Troop selected One Warm Coat to do a service project with in our community. The girls set up collection sites at their schools and even did "drive by" donations as parents dropped off their children. The activity was so simple to organize and our 10 girls collected over 200 coats. Dropping the coats off at a local collection site couldn't have been easier for us as well. The staff were amazing to work with and helped us every step of the way. I loved what they were doing as welL. Our girls learned the value of just one simple coat to a person in need.

We started 2 years ago with One Warm Coat. They are amazing! Our neighbourhood started collecting coats 2 years ago in December. The experience was amazing. OWC sent us all the necessary tool for a successful drive. They made it so easy to collect and distribute the coats. We get updates on the the successes of this organisation and how our donations helped. We look forward to working with OWC again this year.

One Warm Coat is awesome. It started out with a request to our fellow Lion members to clean out their closets and bring their gently used but unwanted warm coats to our annual Christmas party. From there it grew and we started collecting from other Lions clubs in the area and local businesses. Scales of Justice Lions supports One Warm Coat with their annual coat drive and we're hoping to make a larger impact every year. With a homeless population in San Jose alone of over 7,000, there is a definite need for this drive before the cold winter months.

One Warm Coat makes it very easy by providing support and good marketing materials. We had a donation of 80 coats one day because of the online information pointing to our drive.

One Warm Coat has a simple mission with a HUGE impact. We are trying to provide coats for those in need of all ages. We work hard to make it easy for any individual, group, business or school to run a coat drive and connect with a local agency to assist with distribution of coats. We want everyone to know the importance of being part of a cause that can make a difference in another persons life. As we know, if our basic needs are not met, it is difficult to be a successful. A touching example of success this year was "Albert's Story" a young boy in a Navajo Tribe who received a coat through the partnerships created from One Warm Coat.
