February is the Coldest Month of the Year

By Giving List Staff   |   February 10, 2026

February is the coldest month of the year — and the need for shelter from the
elements is urgent. You can share warmth with children and adults across the country by supporting One
Warm Coat.

Through February 14, donations are being matched dollar-for-dollar during the Double
the Love, Double the Warmth Cold-Weather Challenge — which means your impact will be
doubled. Thanks to the generosity of the Elizabeth Benator Family Foundation, gifts will be
matched up to $25,000 through Valentine’s Day.

Mission

One Warm Coat’s mission is to provide free coats to children and adults in need while promoting volunteerism and environmental sustainability.

Begin to Build a Relationship

We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s Director of Development and/or Executive Director.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with One Warm Coat. Through their programs, we were able to receive hundreds of coats and jackets for all ages, from children to adults. During some of the coldest days of the year, these coats became more than just clothing. They provided warmth, dignity, and comfort to so many individuals facing difficult circumstances. Because of this partnership, we were able to distribute hundreds of coats directly into the hands of those who needed them most. Each one made a real difference.

Share the Warmth

Every dollar donated to One Warm Coat warms one person through their Coat Drive Program. A $5,000 donation provides warmth to 5,000 people while also supporting volunteerism and environmental sustainability.

National Reach. Local Impact.

Giving money isn’t the only way to help. Clean out your closets and donate gently worn coats, or give your time and energy to organize a coat drive in your community. One Warm Coat provides free resources, guidance, and even “pep talks” to help volunteers of any age create meaningful impact in their own neighborhoods.
