About The Project
One Warm Coat started out in 1992 as a Thanksgiving Weekend coat drive in San Francisco.
Since then, more than 1 Million coats have been donated in thousands of local communities across North America. Each coat drive has the same intent -- to collect coats that will be GIVEN to those in need.
Many people play a part in One Warm Coat - those who clean their closet to donate coats; those who organize a coat drive in their community; and the volunteers and staff at social service agencies who distribute the coats.
- One Warm Coat is a simple, easy way to help those in need within local communities.
- One Warm Coat provides tools and resources to help volunteers in the collection of clean, reusable coats for donation to individuals.
- One Warm Coat strives to develop and nurture volunteerism in all of us.
Our dream is that One Warm Coat becomes a part of the American lifestyle. When a coat is no longer needed, people will think of One Warm Coat. They will make their donation knowing that children, women and men in need will receive a gift of a warm coat.
