Service Project

Coat Drive for One Warm Coat- Greater Boston

January 18, 2021

12:00 PM - 06:00 PM EST

Boston Platoon

Event overview

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

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 3 drop off locations in the greater Boston area. You may drop items off at either: Elements Massage Medford- 40 High Street, Medford, MA 02155

Eddie Bauer Burlington Mall- 75 Middlesex Turnpike Space 1068B, Burlington, MA 01803

Eddie Bauer Market Street at Lynnfield-1145 Market Street, Lynnfield, MA 01940

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
