Running now through February 3rd, the coat drive is on behalf of Homeward Bound, an organization that works to prevent and end homelessness in the community through permanent housing and support.
“It is imperative that we, as a community, come together to support our community members that are less fortunate," - shares Bre Powers, Buyers Agent Specialist for Broker Asheville. "During these brutally cold months in Asheville, it is the least we can do to make sure warm jackets are easily accessible for those who need them.”
To help those in need, please donate new or gently used winter wear, including hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, coasts, and muffs. The drive is also collecting welcome home donations, including both hygiene products (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and more) and cleaning supplies (all-purpose cleaner, window cleaner, paper towels, dishwashing soap, and more).
