FWDG proudly concluded its 35th Annual Community Coat Drive on Dec. 31, 2025, a heartfelt initiative aimed at providing warmth and support to neighbors in need throughout the Lowcountry.
Throughout the drive, FWDG — along with other local businesses—served as convenient drop-off locations, welcoming new and gently used coats and cold-weather items for adults and children. The response from the community was overwhelming, resulting in more than 550 coats and winter items collected and distributed to those in need during the colder months.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support we received,” said Donna Seneca, CEO of FWDG. “This coat drive is about more than winter clothing—it’s about neighbors helping neighbors and coming together to care for our community.”
All donated coats were distributed locally to organizations and individuals who need them most, helping ensure that members of the community stay warm and protected throughout the winter season.
FWDG has long been committed to giving back to the Lowcountry through community-driven initiatives, and the annual coat drive remains one of the company’s most impactful outreach efforts. By partnering with customers, local businesses, and community organizations, FWDG continues to reinforce its mission of supporting the community it proudly serves.
