Eddie Bauer launched a coat drive in partnership with One Warm Coat, the only national non-profit organization that works with local agencies to distribute donated coats for free, to people in need.
Today through Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014 all 330 Eddie Bauer retail and outlet stores across North America will be collecting new and gently used coats on behalf of One Warm Coat. People can also make a $5 donation directly to One Warm Coat by texting COLD to 80100 ($5 will be added to the donors cell phone bill. Standard message and data rates may apply).
For nearly 100 years, Eddie Bauer has built the worlds best outerwear to combat the cold, says Mike Egeck, Chief Executive Officer of Eddie Bauer. A warm winter coat is a necessity for all. We are proud to support One Warm Coat on this campaign that gives back to those in need in our local communities.
One Warm Coat has a long-standing commitment with groups, companies and organizations across the country to deliver donated coats directly to local agencies who in turn ensure coats are distributed free of charge to people in need.
“We are extremely proud to partner with Eddie Bauer this fall,” says Jennifer Stockard, president of One Warm Coat. “Eddie Bauer’s personal experience with hypothermia and the company’s continuing dedication to his passion of providing warmth and protection to those who spend significant time out in the cold makes them a perfect match for One Warm Coat.”
