Operation, One Warm Coat


Just after Thanksgiving, the Emergency Housing Consortium opens their cold weather shelters in Sunnyvale and Gilroy. Once again, Coldwell Banker and the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR) will help their efforts through our Operation, One Warm Coat.
We will be collecting and distributing items that are needed...warm coats, sweaters and jackets for all ages...to their proper locations.
We are asking for your support again. Your donations will help EHC to meet their goals successfully, and all items will be greatly appreciated by those in need. Receipts are available upon request.
About EHC: Just past its 25th year of operation, EHC now has a new name, EHC LifeBuilders, which more accurately describes its work of providing emergency housing, shelter, and services to assist the homeless in rebuilding their lives. It is constantly expanding its services to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in Santa Clara County. Their growth and continuing need is evident in both its longstanding and new programs.
A recent merger with Social Advocates for Youth, an agency which serves about 100 young people in the County, and a new shelter for the homeless that opened in early 2005 in Palo Alto, are two of its newer projects.
I will be happy to pick up any donations in Sunnyvale or Cupertino, or you can drop them at my office, 10105 South DeAnza Blvd. in Cupertino....Bobbie
