Review for One Warm Coat, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

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!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Have them organize shoe drives, sweater drives, hat drives, etc. The parents at our school won't have coats to donate every year, but if we were able to rotate other types of drives, that would be great.
