With winter rapidly approaching, ERA Golden Hills Brokers is collecting clean, used jackets for its annual coat drive. The coats will be given to the Covenant House in Oakland, which coordinates the “One Warm Coat” effort. Jackets can be dropped off at 3223 Crow Canyon Road, Suite 110, Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The “One Warm Coat” effort was launched in 1992 to help underprivileged individuals stay warm. Since it began, it has already collected over 150,000 coats.
“We are thrilled that so many people across the country have received coats to help them stay warm. It’s such a simple and easy way to show you care for people in need,” said Lois Pavlow, founder to “One Warm Coat.” The last day to donate a coat is Dec. 23. For more information, contact Fred Turner at 866-9100.
On Dec. 15, Realty Executives Excel of San Ramon will be hosting the “Gingerbread Project” for children in need. Volunteers will drive to Families First in Concord with gingerbread houses for 30-40 children to decorate, and they will also receive a gift at the end.
