The “walls of warmth” are set up in locations across Southeast Idaho. Coats are hung on a fence for people in need to anonymously take one. We only ask that you take one coat per person so everyone that needs a coat can receive one.Â
Community members are more than welcome to bring any coats, snow pants, scarves, hats, or gloves to add to the walls while they are set up. (No regular clothing items please.)
Donations are open Oct 10th – Nov 10th.
The walls are set up Nov 14th – Nov 25th.

Five years ago, local Realtor, Valorie Blanchard, wanted to do something to give back to the community. So the Wall of Warmth was dreamed up. With the help of her clients and the community, they gave away just short of 600 coats the first year and over 5,000 coats last year to people in need. This year in conjunction with Good 2 Go and the Brad Hall Foundation, wall is again expanding to cover locations in all of Eastern Idaho. The goal this year is to provide over 7,000 coats!
