The Local Go To Collects 76 Coats For People in Need Through One Warm Coat Drive

Harford County, Maryland, January, 18th , 2023 – Recently, The Local Go To collected 76 coats and $10.50 for children and adults in Harford County, Maryland. The coats were dropped off to the local VFW in Aberdeen and donated in the local community after The Local Go To held a drive with the national nonprofit One Warm Coat.

“Working with One Warm Coat was a great experience! There is a real need for coats in our local community, especially due to the economic struggles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. One Warm Coat’s program made it easy for us to make a difference and share much needed warmth. We had a goal of collecting 25 coats and $250, and “we surpassed the 25 and collected 76” said The Local Go To.’ I am very pleased with the donations and proud to know each neighbor that donated.” This was our 1st Coat Drive and we consider it successful. Next drive will start October 1st 2023 and Hope to double our collection efforts. Every $1 donated warms 1 person.

Since 1992, One Warm Coat has worked with their volunteers to distribute 7.3 million coats across the United States and Canada. “We are grateful for the hard work and support of The Local Go To. We’re thrilled Harford County came together to provide warmth for your neighbors in need. Thanks to The Local Go To for sharing warmth one coat at a time!” said One Warm Coat President & CEO, Beth W. Amodio.

sharing warmth one coat at a time. LET's DO IT AGAIN!!

Harford County, Maryland 10/17/2023 –The Local Go To is hosting a coat drive to collect clean gently worn or new coats on 10/17/2023 until 10/31/2023 between 10:00 and 5:00 at We will pick up. Area residents are invited to make a difference in our local community by donating to the coat drive and helping The Local Go To reach their goal of collecting 150 coats and $500 dollars.

“We are excited about our upcoming One Warm Coat drive and invite the community to participate and support our efforts. The need for shelter from the elements, like food and clean water, is especially urgent now. Due to the economic crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the poverty rate in 2020 increased for the first time in 5 years. Currently 37 million Americans are living at or below the poverty level and struggling to afford basic necessities. All of the coats we collect will be distributed in our community and help our neighbors stay safe and warm this winter,” said Coat Drive Ambassador and local resident, The Local Go To.

Last year, more than 400,000 coats were distributed across the United States to children and adults in need through One Warm Coat’s Coat Drive Program. “We’re grateful to our volunteer Coat Drive Ambassadors like The Local Go To! It’s because of our incredible volunteers that so many coats are saved from landfills and given a second life protecting our neighbors in need. Thanks to The Local Go To efforts, many people in this community will be warm this winter”, said Beth W. Amodio, President and CEO of One Warm Coat.
