OC Home Collective team at Compass and One Warm Coat®, sharing warmth one coat at a time.
November 29, 2024 – OC Home Collective is hosting a coat drive to collect clean gently worn or new coats on December 2 - December 18, 2024 at the Compass real estate office located at 341 Bayside Drive in Newport Beach, CA. Area residents are invited to make a difference in our local community by donating to the coat drive and helping OC Home Collective reach their goal of collecting 100 coats.

“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 is especially urgent now as more than 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 to help our neighbors stay safe and warm this winter,” said Coat Drive Organizer and local Realtor, Holly McDonald.
Last year, One Warm Coat’s volunteers collected more than 500,000 coats that were distributed to children and adults in need across the United States. “We’re grateful to volunteer Coat Drive Organizers like OC Home Collective! It’s because of our incredible volunteers that so many coats are saved from landfills and given a second life providing warmth to people in need. Thanks to OC Home Collective’s efforts, many people in this community will be warm this winter”, said Beth W. Amodio, President and CEO of One Warm Coat.
