“We are excited about our upcoming One Warm Coat drive and invite the community to join us
in sharing warmth. Shelter from the elements is a basic need. Currently, 37 million, or 11% of all
Americans, are living in poverty and struggling to afford necessities. “One Warm Coat is grateful to volunteer Coat Drive
Organizers like Trout Funeral Home & Crematory! It’s because of thousands of incredible
volunteers that so many coats are given a second life and provided to our neighbors in need.
Thanks to Trout Funeral Home’s efforts, many people in this community will be warm this
winter”, said Beth W. Amodio, President and CEO of One Warm Coat.
