One Warm Coat provides free coats to children and adults in need while promoting volunteerism and environmental sustainability.
Coat Drive Program
One Warm Coat supports individuals, groups, companies, and organizations by providing the tools and resources needed to hold a successful coat drive. Coats are distributed in the communities where they are collected, to any person in need, without charge or discrimination. Through the Coat Drive Program, every $1 donated warms 1 person.
Corporate Engagement
Corporate and foundation support helps One Warm Coat share warmth with more than 500,000 children and adults in local communities across the United States each year while diverting more than 1 million pounds of textiles from landfills. Join purpose-driven corporations and foundations today!
Nonprofit Partnerships
One Warm Coat’s network of 2,000 nonprofit partner organizations and schools are integral to our programs. One Warm Coat’s partner organizations represent a broad spectrum of social services, and One Warm Coat assists these organizations by providing coats for their clients and enabling them to direct more valuable resources toward their primary mission. In return, participating organizations distribute coats in local communities across the country to the people they serve. Coats are distributed for free and without discrimination to children and adults in need.
Zero Waste Initiative
One Warm Coat offers an environmentally conscious solution to retailers and manufacturers with overstock, irregular, and sample outerwear that cannot be sold. Through the Zero Waste Initiative, we provide an eco-friendly alternative to adding textile items to the landfill, and give the outerwear directly to our nonprofit partner organizations. The nonprofit organizations then distribute the outerwear items to children and adults in need across the United States.
National Share the Warmth Day
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.
Disaster Relief
One Warm Coat responds to natural disasters that put children and adults at risk due to cold weather by shipping donations of outerwear to our network of nonprofit partner agencies in the affected areas to distribute immediately to people in need.
