Go Erin Go

We received an anonomous check for $100.00 from the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, thru the generosity and recommendation of the Go Erin Go fund.

Erin -- if that is your name -- thank you for supporting the project.  This $100.00 will allow us to send supplies (banners, labels and the Certificates of Appreciation)  to 10 coat drives.  This year the average number of coats donated has been 125 coats per drive --

You've helped more than 1,250 people for the coming year!

They had a supply of boxes ---

We know that many of the Organizers don't have a "ready supply" of boxes -- especially BIG boxes. 

A-AAAKEY Mini Storage in Louisiana -- yes, it does get cold in the South, especially this winter -- had boxes.  Six locations held One Warm Coat drives during December and collected over 200 items.

KooDooZ's latest video features One Warm Coat

Our friends at KooDooZ just posted their latest video -- and it's all about Addison Graham, our first Youth Advocate. Addy has been hosting One Warm Coat drives for several years and she's an amazing advocate for making a difference in your community. KooDooZ video - 3 1/2 minutes

Speaking of amazing -- KooDooZ fits the bill!  A great group who is committed to empowering youth by challenging them to find their life balance of heart, mind, body and spirit.   KooDooZ lays the foundation for middle and high school kids to understand how to articulate and act upon their own values, motivations and passions.
