Giving Back in the Season of Giving
Each year, we partner with you to give back to our local community in a variety of ways. And we kick that into high gear each November and December. Scroll down for details on:
The Gift Of Warmth Coat Drive, 10/7 – 12/7
Donate gently used coats by dropping them off at one of our shop locations. 10/7 – 11/1, donations served the needs of our neighbors in Western NC in the wake of Hurricane Helene. In return, participating customers received a 20% off one regular priced item coupon, redeemable 11/15-11/30! As easy as that.
Donations received between 11/2 – 12/7 will serve the needs in your local community via our local partners like the Salvation Army.
Our Coat Drive is made possible by your generous donations and by local non-profits that serve those affected by poverty and disaster. Working with these organizations, we are grateful that hope and life-changing help is provided to homeless and hurting individuals.
Giving Tuesday, December 3
This Tuesday, we celebrate and honor the amazing organizations we support throughout the year. This year in particular, we’re highlighting MountainTrue who has deep roots and strong partnerships in Western North Carolina and the Southern Blue Ridge. Through their collaborative approach, MountainTrue is committed to tackling the immediate crisis from Hurricane Helene while laying the groundwork for a resilient future. WNC relief efforts remain a priority to us, and we’re proud to support organizations that are on the ground and taking action towards the revitalization of the places we love most.
In addition, land conservation remain near and dear to our hearts. We support 9 land conservancies throughout NC and VA. We do clean ups around NC and VA, including the MST and the Appalachian Trail. We support the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and sponsor wilderness and trail events. And, of course, in November and December, we have our annual Gifts of Warmth Coat Drive and Habitat Day.

Habitat Day, Saturday, December 7
Shop with us on December 7!
5% of all sales goes to the local Habitat for Humanity.
As a wilderness outfitter, we equip folks so they are comfortable in the outdoors. Voluntarily leaving a warm, dry home requires the confidence that one’s gear is adequate protection—shelter, food, and clothing become a priority that we normally take for granted. Habitat Day reminds us that not everyone has an affordable home.
Each year our “Staying Warm from the Inside Out” campaign spreads the vision of “every family in a healthy home, a peaceful neighborhood, in a sustainable, diverse, tolerant, and vibrant community.”
