TILTON — Participating in the One Warm Coat program for the first year is the Eddie Bauer store at the Tanger Outlet in Tilton, New Hampshire.

One Warm Coat is a national non-profit organization that assists in the donation of coats. One Warm Coat helps individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country collect coats and deliver them to local agencies that distribute them free, to people in need. The organization's goal is to ensure that anyone who needs a coat has one. Providing this simple yet vital need helps people live productive lives year round. Nearly 4 million coats have been collected and distributed through One Warm Coat activities since 1992.

The Santa Fund of the Greater Lakes Region is a non-profit all volunteer program which operates year round to help children and families in need in the Lakes Region. Over the past several years, it has provided warm clothes, coats, boots and snow pants for children during the winter months.
