Bringing Warmth Home: Windermere Signature Properties’ 15th Annual Coat Drive

When the chill of winter settles over the Greater Sacramento region, a warm coat can mean the difference between comfort and hardship. At Windermere Signature Properties, we believe no one in our community should go without. That’s why we’re proud to launch our 15th Annual Winter Coat Drive—a campaign dedicated to keeping our neighbors warm and cared for.

This October, our 14 local offices and agents will serve as collection hubs for new and gently used coats, jackets, scarves, hats, gloves, and more. These donations will be distributed across Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, and El Dorado counties through partnerships with incredible local nonprofits such as Hands4Hope, Elk Grove Clothes Closet, xHope, Many Hands Make Light Work, and others.

More Than Numbers—It’s About Neighbors

Since 2010, our community has donated over 114,000 winter clothing items, helping children walk to school in comfort, parents provide for their families with dignity, and seniors stay warm through the coldest months. This year, we’re determined to go even further—with a goal of surpassing 115,000 donations.

“These drives aren’t just about coats—they’re about compassion,” said Pat Shea, President and CEO of Windermere Signature Properties. “Each item donated carries a message of hope and reminds someone in need that their community cares.”

Community at the Core

The Windermere Foundation is the driving force behind these efforts, empowering our agents and staff to make a real difference in the communities we serve. From funding housing initiatives to supporting youth programs, our commitment extends far beyond real estate—it’s about building stronger, more compassionate communities.

Since 2015, Windermere Signature Properties has invested more than $1.5 million back into the Greater Sacramento region through local charitable grants, contributing to a company-wide impact of over $51 million across nine states. The annual Coat Drive is just one of the many ways we continue to put community first.
