One Warm Coat Drive Recap
This year marked the 11th Annual One Warm Coat Drive, and we’re beyond grateful for the outpouring of support from our clients, team, and community. Together, we achieved:
- 308 coats donated
- $900 in monetary contributions
- 13 warm blankets
- Two large garbage bags of gloves, hats, scarves, and earmuffs
Special thanks to:
- A compassionate client who extended our coat drive to their office, Telecom Management Resources, inspiring their coworkers to contribute additional coats and blankets, multiplying the impact of our efforts.
- Two extraordinary young girls, Alexa and Natalie who found out about our drive last year and decided to use their gift card to buy coats for those in need. This year, they collected and donated a dozen coats. We’re excited to have them back this year and hope to make a difference with them again next year.
- Girl Scout Troop #78034, who returned this year to make the drive extra special. They dedicated their time to meticulously counting and organizing the donations, writing heartfelt pocket notes of encouragement to include in each coat, and preparing everything for delivery.
- Danielle Howard for organizing our coat drive and ensures this its success year after year. To Jim and Dena Kruzan for their generous coat donation match. And to our KWM team members who helped shop for new coat donations and deliver our coats to Carriage Town Ministries. Every little bit helps make an impact and we’re proud of our entire team’s commitment.
This year’s drive truly showcased the power of community. Your generosity and kindness remind us why this tradition means so much. Thank you for making a difference.
Charity: Water Update
We’re thrilled to announce the completion of our second water well and pump project in Mkukula, Malawi, Africa. This initiative began in 2022 and culminated in November 2024, bringing fresh, clean water to 520 people in the Mkukula community. This life-changing project will improve health, reduce travel time for water collection, and empower the community to thrive.
This year, in lieu of traditional holiday gifts, we are once again donating to another water project through Charity: Water in honor of our clients. It’s our way of saying thank you while making a meaningful global impact. Click here to see the well’s location and learn more about its transformative effects.
