Coat Drive for One Warm Coat- St. Louis

January 18, 2021

12:00 PM - 06:00 PM CST

St. Louis Platoon

Event overview

One Warm Coat is a nationwide organization that collects gently used, clean coats for those who find themselves in need of one. They accept coats for all ages from infants to adults. They accept all types of coats from rain jackets, to lightweight coats, to dress coats, and warm winter coats. Additionally, they are able to accept gloves, scarves, hats, etc.

We invite you to clean out your closet, wash any coats or winter wear that you do not need, and donate them to One Warm Coat. Other collection ideas include visiting a thrift store and purchasing additional gently used items. You may also consider reaching out to friends, family, or neighbors and asking them to wash and drop off gently used items to your house. Posting your collection to Facebook or Nextdoor is a great way to collect items from those living near you.

One Warm Coat invites you to leave a note of encouragement in the pocket of each coat you donate. That note will remain inside the pocket and will be given to the recipient of your coat!

There are 2 drop off locations in the greater St. Louis area. You may drop items off at either: Eddie Bauer St. Louis Galleria- 1115 Saint Louis Galleria Space 1113, St. Louis, MO 63117 OR Rosemary Ray- 8824 N. Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63147

Eddie Bauer is offering a coupon for anyone who brings items in to donate. For more information on One Warm Coat, please visit https://www.onewarmcoat.org/give-warmth/donate-coats/

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
