A friend/co-host/organizer put this together for the coat-drive.
Hope you can make it, or support one in your local area.
We sat (by the fireplace after work, each with a glass of Scotch), and agreed that we wanted little to do with raising money that would only feed administratively top-heavy "charities". A coat drive was his idea, and I was immediately onboard. I've bitched about this before, I know. 100% of coat donations will be made available to those who need them. If you haven't worn it in two season, you likely won't miss it.
brilliant idea. have forwarded to a few others as will be OOT.
ReplyDeleteExceptionally brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGood for you both.
Love this.
ReplyDeleteIs there a location where donated coats can be dropped off? I will be traveling on the 14th, but would like to support the cause.
ReplyDelete*Mr. Sidetable: Are in or near Boston? If so, I can find out where the nearest drip box is. If not, I will try to find something in your area. Please send me an email directly: yankeewhiskypapa@gmail.com.
DeleteTheir site will find a drop point for you nationwide: http://onewarmcoat.org/donate/donate-a-coat/
DeleteA friend was collecting for the residents of Staten Island and the Rockaways, so I divested myself of a number of coats and jackets that I no longer wear. Better than on someone's back than in my closet.
ReplyDeleteGood on y'all for doing this!
