Banyan Organizes a Coat Drive to Help Local Agencies
The need has never been greater and it’s never been easier to make a difference in your community. Here is your opportunity to make sure that nobody goes without such a basic necessity as a coat this winter.
Banyan Consulting is collecting clean gently used coats and jackets as part of the One Warm Coat community service project. Coats of all shapes sizes are welcome. One Warm Coat is dedicated to distributing reusable coats, free of charge, directly to local children and adults. The program is an easy way for you and your family to pass along coats and jackets that you no longer need.
Banyan has made donating a coat simple. November 15th through 19th, between 9am and 5pm, just bring your clean, gently used coats and jackets to one of our Banyan Consulting locations:
1215 Manor Drive, Ste. 200, Mechanicsburg PA 17055
or
20 Stanwix Street, Ste. 401, Pittsburgh PA 15222
Then, Banyan will take care of the rest. All donated coats will be given to the Bethesda Mission in Harrisburg, PA and Focus On Renewal in McKees Rocks, PA for distribution to local people in need.
“More people than ever need help these days. I am proud of the thousands of coat drive organizers whose creativity and generosity of spirit are making a real difference in their own communities.” commented Sherri Wood, President and National Coordinator for 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 one million coats have been provided to those in need at no cost since its inception in 1992.
