National Share the Warmth Day is Tomorrow…
October 8, 2024
Presented by One Warm Coat and Kia America
(previously One Warm Coat Day) is a day of
awareness and activation.
It brings awareness to the need for warmth
among vulnerable populations and offers several
ways for people to take action:
Donate money.
Every $1 donated warms one person.
All donations made on October 8 will be matched
by the OWC Board of Directors,
doubling your impact! Donate now.
Donate coats.
Clean out your closets and search by zip code
to find a place near you to drop off the coats.
Donate time.
Make a huge impact in your local community
and collect coats for children and adults in need.
If you’re holding a coat drive,
all donations made to your coat drive page on
10/8 will be doubled!

Only enhances the
Desire to give.

We make a life by what we give.

Are those who do the most
For others.

In the middle upon this act…
Whether paying it forward,
Or giving it back.

Give whatever you can
To the needy,
All that if will cost you
Is a little effort,
A little heart
And a little love.

Remember that the
Happiest people are
Not those getting more,
But those giving more.
- H. Jackson Brown Jr
It wasn't the reward that mattered
or the recognition you might harvest.
It was your depth of commitment,
your quality of service,
the product of your devotion…
these were the things that counted in a life.
When you gave purely,
the honor came in the giving,
and that was honor enough.
- Scott O’Grady
Leadership is not about giving speeches,
or about being popular.
Leadership is not about being loud,
or about having a bigger slice of the pie.
Leadership is not about having more followers,
or about having influential friends.
Leadership is not about dominating the weak.
Leadership is not about being more powerful.
A true leader lifts others up.
A true leader makes others share a vision of
hope and achievement.
A true leader stands up for the weak.
A true leader shows the way by their actions.
- Avijeet Das

“He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have
many curses.
- Proverbs.28:27
“Each man should give as
He has decided in his heart.
He should not give,
Wishing he could keep it.
Or he should not give if he
Feels he has to give.
God loves a man who gives
Because he wants to give.”
- 2 Corinthians 9:7
