2nd Annual Coat Drive Running This Month

North Billerica, MA

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.

W. L. French Excavating Corporation 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.

W. L. French Excavating Corporation has made donating a coat simple. Just bring your clean, gently used coats and jackets to our main office located at 3 Survey Circle North Billerica, MA from 7 30 AM to 5:00 PM. W. L. French Excavating Corporation will take care of the rest! All donated coats will be given to the New England Shelter of Homeless Veterans, Rosie's Place and Cradles to Crayons 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 have made helping people so easy and who are making a real difference in their own communities.” commented Sherri Wood, President and Nnational C 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.
