Jonathan's project name was "Warmth Is What We Need" and benefitted the One Warm Coat organization. The shelter of a coat is a basic need. The simple gift of a coat can save lives. He collected coats, blankets, gloves, hats, scarves and sweatshirts. One Warm Coat is a mission providing free coats to those in need while promoting volunteerism and environmental sustainability. The impact of the economic crisis created by Covid-19 increased the demand for coats in most communities by an average of fifty percent. Jonathan advertised, organized drop-off sites, collection bins, and distributed flyers to neighborhoods as the first phase of his project. He then collected organized, cleaned, tagged, and delivered the 506 clothing items to One Warm Coat.
