Annual Coat Drive in Charlotte: Helping Our Community Stay Warm This Winter

Make Sure No One Goes Cold This Winter

As the temperatures begin to drop across the Charlotte area, the reality is that not everyone has access to the basic essentials needed to stay warm. For many families and individuals, winter is not just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous.

That’s why our team at High Performance Real Estate Advisors continues to host our Annual Coat Drive, focused on making sure no one in our community is left out in the cold.

This is more than a seasonal effort—it’s part of how we stay connected to the people we serve every day.

What We’re Collecting This Year

We are accepting both new and gently used items that can help individuals and families stay warm throughout the winter months.

• Winter coats (all sizes)
• Socks and gloves
• Mittens and hats
• Sweaters and hoodies
• Blankets and scarves

Every item donated goes directly to local homeless shelters and organizations serving the greater Charlotte region. These items are not stored—they are distributed to those who need them most.

How and Where to Donate

We’ve made the process as easy as possible so that anyone who wants to contribute can do so.

Drop-Off Location:
3430 Torrington Way, Suite 400
Charlotte, NC

If getting to the office is difficult, we’re happy to coordinate pickup. Just reach out, and our team will arrange a time that works for you.

The donation period runs through December 21, giving everyone ample time to participate.

Our Goal This Year

Last year, with the help of our clients, friends, and community members, we collected 276 items.

This year, we’re setting the bar higher.

Our goal is 300+ items—and we believe that with the support of this community, we can exceed it.

Every single item counts. A single coat, a pair of gloves, or a blanket can make a real difference for someone facing the cold.

Why This Matters Beyond the Season

Real estate is about more than buying and selling homes—it’s about community.

We work with families every day who are building their futures here. Giving back is part of that responsibility. It’s about supporting the same neighborhoods, people, and local organizations that make this area what it is.

Whether we’re helping someone prepare to sell their home or find their next property, we believe our role goes beyond the transaction.

This coat drive is just one way we stay committed to that.

How You Can Help Even If You Can’t Donate Items

If you don’t have items to donate, there are still ways to contribute:

• Share this initiative with friends and family
• Coordinate a small collection within your workplace
• Help spread awareness on social media
• Connect us with local organizations in need

Community efforts grow when more people are involved. Even a small action can lead to a larger impact.

Our Commitment to the Charlotte Community

We’ve built our business around relationships and trust, and that extends beyond real estate.

Initiatives like this are a reflection of what matters most—helping people, supporting local needs, and staying engaged with the community that supports us.

We don’t take that lightly.
