Bless the Backs: Warm Winter Coat Giveaway
As temperatures drop, too many children and families in Hampton Roads face the season without proper winter wear. Grow House’s Warm Winter Coat Giveaway powered by our prime partner One Warm Coat ensures that no one braves the cold without dignity, safety, and warmth.
Beginning each October, we stand back-to-back and invite the whole community to join us: donate new or gently used coats at our sponsoring partner’s site, First Team dealerships, across Hampton Roads or at our collaborative partner’s site, Oasis Social Ministry in Portsmouth, VA. We also encourage churches, fraternities, sororities, and organizations to host coat drives in solidarity. Volunteers and partners help sort, prepare, and distribute with care.
By November, families receive coats directly at our giveaway events free, with love. For us, a warm coat is more than protection against the cold. It communicates care, belonging, and hope. It declares: You are not forgotten. Your community stands with you.
Warm Winter Coat Drive dates are tentatively: 15 October – 09 November 2025
Distribution dates 15-22 November. Site locations: TBA here, on this website. ASAP!
