One Warm Coat is a national non-profit that assists in the collection and donation of warm coats to those in need - over 3 million coats since their inception in 1992.
So many of us take things like winter coats, hats, and gloves for granted; yet so many of our neighbors struggle each year just to stay warm. Here are some facts from their website:
One Warm Coat has multiple ways you can help. You can find a coat drive in your area using their Coat Drive Locator Map, or organize a drive of your own! They also accept online donations to cover shipping and distribution costs.
During the month of December, I will donate $1 to One Warm Coat for the first 25 new followers to my blog AND the first 25 new likes on my Facebook page.One Warm Coat's mission is to provide any person with a warm coat, free of charge; let's see what we can do to help them out this month!
