Warm the Bay: Beats 4 Hope's Jackets & Jams Coat Drive Returns on September 20
The Californer/10325074

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. - Californer -- Beats 4 Hope, a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization, is thrilled to announce the return of its highly anticipated Jackets & Jams Coat Drive on September 20 from 1pm to 5pm at Drake's Barrel House (1933 Davis St #177, San Leandro, CA 94577). This family-friendly event is a unique mix of a coat drive and a community celebration. It aims to collect 1000 clean, gently used, or new coats for those in need.

As winter approaches, the need for warm clothing has become more pressing than ever, with 1 in 4 people living at or near the poverty line. The collected coats will be distributed to local non-profits, including Boys and Girls Club of San Leandro, East Oakland Collective, Abode, Love Thy Women Foundation, Hearts For Humanity, and Larkin Street Youth Services, to ensure that vulnerable populations stay warm during the cold winter months.

"We identify and select nonprofits in need of assistance and provide them with resources and support," added Alex Mejia. "This event is a testament to our commitment to giving back to the community."

The event is free and open to the public, making it an ideal outing for families and friends. By attending and donating a coat, participants will be contributing to a worthy cause and enjoying a fun-filled afternoon.
