We are seeking groups (or indivduals!) that would like to organize and carry out their own "Coats for Cold" drives. By collecting donations of winter coats (as well as hats, gloves, and scarves) for children and adults, you would help families in need to stay warm during the harsh winter months ahead!
This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone seeking a way to improve the lives of low-income families! Putting together a "Coats for Cold" drive might be especially appreciated by students or professionals who are interested in building leadership skills by helping others in need; college clubs, church groups, and other clubs and groups that want to come together for a great cause; as well as businesses and teams of coworkers that would like to express their commitment to the community.
Examples of where you might hold a coat drive include local businesses, schools, colleges, neighborhoods, community centers, churches, or even among your own friends and family.
*** For detailed instructions and coat drive flyers that you can customize, please visit: http://www.communityenv.org/coats-for-cold-info/ ****
We would be happy to offer additional guidance, if that would be helpful.
If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. Thank you for considering this chance to be an important part of our 2016 "Coats for Cold" effort!

Mission Statement
Community Empowerment Northern Virginia (CENV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with this core belief: when one plants a S.E.E.D. by Strengthening, Educating, Empowering and Developing, strong communities will grow. To facilitate this movement, CENV offers one-to-one mentoring, tutoring, adult education workshops, leadership training, and much more. These services empower personal growth, support academic success and educate people toward developing self-sufficiency.
Description
Today’s society is challenged by an increasingly difficult world. Family problems, substance abuse, economic pressure, and the lure of gangs and delinquency threaten our youth physically and emotionally. Community Empowerment Northern Virginia is dedicated to providing community-based services that support, guide and inspire people to build life skills required to become resilient, self-sufficient adults. Using adult and peer mentoring to provide positive role models and promote skill development, Community Empowerment Northern Virginia strives to help build self-acceptance, strengthen school performance, and enhance executive functioning.
By providing people with positive role models in the community, Community Empowerment seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide people with a vital sense of belonging
- Give people a sense that the greater community also cares about them
- Move people forward on their way to conscious and self-sufficient adulthood
- Support people on their journey to discover their true potential
- Provide people with access to the resources necessary to achieve social and academic success
- Help more people graduate high school and move on to higher education that supports their dreams
- Create an array of services that complement the web of services already existing in our communities
- Educate and empower parents and families to be more involved in family and community growth
