About Operation: One Warm Coat 

Operation: One Warm Coat was established in 1992 by a San Francisco resident who wished to donate her coat and have it provided for free to those in need.  The non-profit organization’s mission is “to ensure that anyone who needs a coat has one,” believing that “providing this simple, yet vital, service helps people live productive lives year round.”  Since its small beginnings, the organization has expanded its reach across the country, helping individuals, groups, companies and organizations collect coats and deliver them to local agencies that distribute them for free to people in need.
