Specialty Hospital of Washington-Hadley Collects Coats to Support the One Warm Coat Community Service Project

    VERO BEACH, FL, November 28, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Specialty Hospital of Washington's Hadley Campus (SHW) has volunteered to be one of the collection depots for the One Warm Coat Community Service Project. One Warm Coat is dedicated to distributing reusable coats, free of charge, directly to local children and adults. This is your opportunity to make sure that no one goes without such a basic necessity as a coat this winter.

Coats of all shapes sizes are welcome. The Specialty Hospital of Washington has made donating a coat simple. Just bring your clean, gently used coats and jackets to Specialty Hospital of Washington-Hadley, 4601 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SW, Washington, DC 20032 from December 3-20 from 11am-4pm. The Specialty Hospital of Washington will take care of the rest. All donated coats will be given to the Total Family Care Coalition for distribution to local people in need.

"More people than ever need help these days. I am proud of the thousands of coat drive organizers whose creativity and generosity of spirit are making a real difference in their own communities." commented Sherri Wood, President and National Coordinator for One Warm Coat.

One Warm Coat is national non-profit organization that supports and encourages coat drives. It helps individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country collect coats and deliver them to local agencies that distribute the coats free to people in need. More than one million coats have been provided to those in need at no cost since its inception in 1992.
