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.)
Â
Five years ago, local Realtor, Valorie Blanchard, wanted to do something to give back to the community. She created the Wall of Warmth project focused on giving the less fortunate what they needed to stay warm during Idaho winters. 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 in 2022 to people in need.
The project continues to grow each year!
