Annual Warm Coat Drive

Why We Do It

Each November, as temperatures drop and the season of giving arrives, Connect California Homes hosts our annual Warm Coat Drive to support families in need throughout the East Bay.

In partnership with local nonprofits like Hively and the East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC), we collect clean, gently used winter coats for children, teens, and adults. These donations go directly to local families facing financial hardship or recovering from trauma, ensuring that warmth, comfort, and care reach those who need it most.

Both Hively and EBAC provide critical support services, helping families across the Tri-Valley and greater East Bay build resilience and find stability. By donating a coat, you’re offering more than just warmth, you’re helping someone stay safe, supported, and seen.

A simple act of kindness can mean everything when the weather turns cold.

Stay Tuned for Our 2025 Coat Drive!
