Bundle Up Someone In Need In Menlo Park

The police explorers will accept jackets of any size for the "One Warm Coat" program.

MENLO PARK, CA -- The city's Police Explorers program has started its participation in the seventh annual "One Warm Coat" drive.

Through Jan. 6, 2019, the explorers are collecting new or clean and gently used coats as part of the One Warm Coat (https://www.onewarmcoat.org/) community service project. Coats of all shapes and sizes are welcome.

One Warm Coat is dedicated to distributing reusable coats, free of charge, directly to local children and adults. The program is an ideal way to pass along coats and jackets no longer needed.

More than one million coats have been provided to those in need at no cost since its inception in 1992.
