keeping idaho warm

The Wall of Warmth is back and starting a week earlier than last year! As winter approaches, we’re calling on the entire community to help each other stay warm through the chilly months ahead.

Valorie Blanchard, local realtor, started the Wall of Warmth in 2017. It began with one small wall and a big idea: to give back to the community. Now in its seventh year, that one wall has grown into an incredible ten walls in eight communities, including Pocatello, Blackfoot, Shelley, Idaho Falls, Rigby, Rexburg, St. Anthony and Driggs. With the help of the Hall Foundation, JustServe, and several local businesses, our goal is bigger than ever: to collect 8,000+ coats for those in need.

Do you have coats that you no longer use?

Community members are invited to contribute clean, gently used coats or other outdoor gear such as snow pants, hats, gloves, and scarves between Oct 1st & Nov 13th. These donations are the perfect opportunity to clear out a closet while making a meaningful impact in your community.

From Nov 4th – Nov 16th, the Walls of Warmth will be in action, offering free coats to anyone who needs them. 

Have A Spare? Leave One.

Need a Coat? Take One.

Seven 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 providing coats to anyone who needed one 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.

The Wall of Warmth continues to grow each year!
