Coat Drive Helps Local People in Need Stay Warm

Heaven’s Helpers Ministry and One Warm Coat®, warming communities… one coat at a time.

Landover, MD, September 29, 2014 – While the need for warm coats has never been greater, it has also never been easier to meet this vital need in our community. Heaven’s Helpers Ministry invites area residents to join them in an effort to ensure that no one goes without a warm coat this winter. 

Heaven’s Helpers Ministry is holding a One Warm Coat drive and will be collecting clean, gently used warm coats. One Warm Coat is dedicated to collecting and distributing gently used warm coats--free of charge and without discrimination--directly to local children and adults in the local area. The coat drive program provides an easy way for individuals and families to make a difference in the lives of their neighbors by simply passing along coats and jackets that are no longer needed.

“So many of our neighbors need help these days. We are proud to work with and support each one of our coat drive organizers and donors. The time, resources and energy they give to help their neighbors proves that we can warm communities one coat at a time,” commented Jennifer Stockard, President and Chief Executive Officer of One Warm Coat.

One Warm Coat is national non-profit organization that supports and encourages coat drives. It helps individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country collect coats and deliver them to local agencies that distribute the coats free to people in need. More than four million coats have been provided to those in need at no cost since its inception in 1992.
