Mission: One Warm Coat's mission is to provide free coats to anyone in need. One Warm Coat is a national nonprofit that works to create awareness of the vital need for warm coats across the country. One Warm Coat supports volunteer efforts to hold coat drives by providing tools and resources.   One Warm Coat works with manufacturers and retailers to accept and process in-kind coat donations. One Warm Coat relies on individual and corporate financial donations to support the coat drive program, in-kind donation program, and awareness campaign, and to purchase new coats for agencies in crisis.   Every $1 donated warms 1 person.   One Warm Coat partners with non-profit agencies and schools in local communities across all 50 states to distribute coats for free and without discrimination to children and adults in need.
