We started Heartwarming during our first winter in Reno, Nevada. Coming from Florida, we felt incredibly unprepared for the freezing temperatures. While we pulled our jackets snug, we saw many less fortunate individuals who endured sub-freezing temperatures in Reno's windy winters.

We started by collecting gently used warm clothing from our schools during the holiday season. What started as a small effort has grown into something meaningful. We are incredibly grateful to have collected over 5000 articles of clothing from our amazing partners. 

We are incredibly grateful to partner with Davidson Academy of Nevada Families & Staff; Caughlin Ranch Elementary School Families & Staff; University of Nevada, Reno Students, UNR Student Housing, Park Place; Ioannis A. Lougaris Veterans' Administration Medical Center Employees; Arrowcreek Residents; and to all of our individual donors. Thank you for making this possible. 

Please consider donating or starting your own chapter today! Every coat, sweater, and sock counts. Thread by thread, we can help spread warmth throughout our communities.
