Coat Drive Helps Local People in Need Stay Warm

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Sept. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Nearly 50 million Americans are currently living in poverty.  For these families and individuals, a warm coat is a budget extra they simply cannot afford. Prodigy Sports Performance invites area residents to make a difference in your neighbor's lives by donating coats during our upcoming coat drive!

Prodigy Sports Performance is working with One Warm Coat to collect clean, gently used warm coats to support the coat drive program.  The coat drive will take place during the month of October (October 3^rd – October 28^th) at Prodigy Sports Performance (5653 Stoneridge Dr. #101, Pleasanton, CA 94588).  The process is simple: you drop off your extra coat(s) and Prodigy Sports Performance takes care of the rest. All donated coats will be given to a local agency for distribution to local children and adults in need. Our goal is to collect 100 coats during our October Coat Drive!

"For more than 20 years we have been working to provide a warm coat to anyone who needs one. We are so thankful for our many coat drive ambassadors, like Prodigy Sports Performance, who volunteer their time, resources and energy to help their neighbors in need.  Together, we can reach our goal of warming one million people each winter, one community at a time!" commented Jennifer Stockard, President and Chief Executive Officer of One Warm Coat.

One Warm Coat is a national non-profit organization that works to provide a free, warm coat to any person in need and raises awareness of the vital need for warm coats.  One Warm Coat supports individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country by providing the tools and resources needed to hold a successful coat drive.  Coats are distributed in the communities where they were collected, to any person in need, without charge, discrimination or obligation. Since its inception in 1992, One Warm Coat has worked with its volunteers to give away over 4 million coats.
