Roanoke-based nonprofit seeks donations for their winter coat campaign

ROANOKE, Va. – A Roanoke-based nonprofit organization is making efforts to provide youngsters with coats for the upcoming winter.

The Humble Hustle Company Inc. is making preparations to collect and give away jackets at two primary schools throughout the next month.

Their goal with their Keep Giving Initiatives, which include the Winter Coat Drive, is to assist the children and young adults living in the Roanoke area.

The nonprofit will give out coats at Belle Academy and Fallon Park Elementary on November 16th and 18th. They are looking for “new” or lightly used coats to donate.

According to the individual who started the charitable organization, their goal for each succeeding year is to assist an even greater number of children in the neighborhood.

“I hope that in everybody’s daily routine they find a way to say ‘hey let me try to find a way to find a coat’, and understand that it is providing a smile for somebody else,” said Xavier Duckett, the founder of the Humble Hustle Company Inc.

The places where donations may be dropped off for their winter coat campaign are listed below.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
