Hello, friends!
I am SO excited for today’s post because I get to tell you about One Warm Coat®! One Warm Coat® is a non-profit organization partnering with Coca-Cola at Walmart to give back this holiday season! This season the program is titled “Layer On Love” and it’s goal is to provide as many coats (completely free) to anyone in need.
Seriously, how cool is that? You can get rid of extra coats you may be holding onto, and make a huge difference in the life of someone who really needs it. I really can’t imagine what it must feel like to not be able to provide something as simple as a coat for my children, the thought that some parents out there have this dilemma hurts my heart, and makes me want to take action. So first, I went to Walmart and picked up some Coca-Cola!
5 Easy Ways to Give Back This Holiday Season:
- Donate your time to a local organization in need. There are always animal shelters, shelters, and others who might be in need of some volunteering this holiday!
- Go through your closet and make a donate pile of everything you could live without. Gather all of your gently used clothing and donate it to those in need.
- Host a can drive in your neighborhood. Reach out to a local food bank and ask them what items they need, then try and gather as many of those items as you can to donate.
- Bake cookies and pass them out at a women’s shelter, police station, fire house, or anywhere else you can think would spread some holiday cheer.
- Donate your gently used coats to Coca-Cola® who is working with One Warm Coat® this holiday. See how easy it is below!
I love getting my boys excited about giving back in the community whenever possible. Whether it be food donations, or clothing – giving back is something I want to instill in them. I’m so proud to help spread the message about the amazing partnership between Coca-Cola® and One Warm Coat®. Do YOU want to help out? Just follow the 5 steps below to make a difference with One Warm Coat®!

What a great idea!! One of my favorite things about the holiday season is using it as a time to be thankful for what we’ve been blessed with, and to pay that forward to others. I love getting my kids involved, and think this coloring sheet is a brilliant plan to spread news about a great cause!
I love these ideas so much! I always try to encourage a sense of charity in my children. When you are blessed, you need to help those who aren’t as blessed.
Thanks so much for sharing these. I think it’s so important to remember that the holidays are about so much more than just getting stuff and stuffing our faces.
I love it when big companies stand up for the little guy! This is a great initiative and it will help a lot of people!
I love that you are including a coloring page with your message so that kids too can start to learn why we donate things and how we can all work together to make sure that everyone is safe and happy. What a great post.
Every season I clean out clothing items that I don’t wear. Not only does it help make room in my closet for the few new pieces I might need, I can help someone in need; especially the winter season with winter clothes.
I think it is such a great thing to teach our kids to give back. Even in simple little ways. I’ll be looking more into this program!
thank you for sharing and the easy instructions since I had no idea how to go about that – its always nice to give back.
I love that this time of year brings out charity in others and inspires us to do better for each other. Glad to see Coke is doing their part to help out
I was just thinking about donating my gently used coats to our local store here. Good to know about this. Maybe I’ll donate it here instead.
I’m so glad that you share this awesome instruction with us and it’s important to give back
Donating really does make you feel good too. I normally donate food to our local food shelf. It’s great to give now that the holidays are approaching too.
We’ve been a lot better about donations of old clothes and coats lately. Used to be we had to sell them but as things have gotten better for us we’ve been able to pass it on a little.
During the holiday season, donations are a must. All of your ideas are great. It’s so important to give back during the holiday season .
During the holiday season I like to give back by donating my old clothes, donating to food banks and to toy drives. I’ll have to find a couple of coats that I can let go of too.
I always donate all the coats my kids outgrow each season. It makes my kids feel good that other children are benefitting from their items that are too small on them.
