Burlington Coat Factory, the retail authority in coats, has joined with One Warm coat and ABC News' "Good Morning America" as the collection site for the "Warm Coats + Warm Hearts" coat drive for the past 3 years.

With over 400 stores in 44 states, the support of Burlington Coat Factory has been invaluable to the success of this coat drive.  More than 600,000 coats have been donated at Burlington Coat Factory locations since 2007.

Aeropostale, a mall-based specialty retailer of active and casual apparel for young women and men, donated 100,000 NEW coats in Fall of 2009.  One Warm Coat coordinated the distribution of these coats to over 130 agencies in all 50 states and 4 Canadian provinces.

Old Navy's Eastern Region, with over 450 stores in 23 states, hosted a 10 day coat drive in October of 2009.  In that short time, more than 90,000 winter items were donated to 175+ local agencies

In 2004 Gap created the "Share The Warmth" campaign which showcased Brannan the Bear with a Warmest Coat.  Proceeds from the sale of Brannan supported the donation of 70,000 coats to be given to children in need in the United States and Canada. One Warm Coat was proud to assist in the distribution of these coats.

The Glad Products Company's financial and in-kind support of One Warm Coat enabled us to grow from a San Francisco Bay Area project to become the only national non-profit organization that helps local groups collect coats for people in need.

Additionally, Clorox, the parent company of Glad Products, has hosted One Warm Coat drives at their HQ since 2003.

Beginning in 2006  Charles Schwab & Company hosted a One Warm Coat drive at its San Francisco HQ. This effort has expanded to 6 regional employment centers including Chicago; Denver; Indianapolis; New York; Phoenix; and Richfield, Ohio. 

Financial support from the Charles Schwab Foundation allows us to provide tools and resources to more than 3,000 coat drives across the country.

The Change Happens Foundation supports One Warm Coat with grant funds, allowing us to hire staff during our busy collection months.    For more than 15 years One Warm Coat was an "all volunteer" organization; the successful expansion of the project required a "change".
