National Share the Warmth Day

National Share the Warmth Day

Presented by One Warm Coat and Kia America

October 8, 2024

Share the Warmth Day is a national day of awareness that inspires people across the country to share warmth with children and adults in need and offers several ways for people to take action.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Give money. Every $1 donated warms one person. Double your impact by making a gift on 10/8 – all donations will be matched up to $32,000 in honor of 32 years of sharing warmth. Donate now.
   
2. Give coats. Clean out your closets and search by zip code to find a place near you to drop off coats. Lands’ End, Cotopaxi, and Puttshack locations across the country are collecting coats and offering coupons!
   
3. Give time. Make a huge impact in your local community and collect coats for children and adults in need.
   

Attention Coat Drive Organizers: Financial donations made through your coat drive page on October 8 will be doubled!
