New Campaign Will Help Youngstown Blue Coats Expand

HUBBARD, Ohio– When it was founded in 2017, Youngstown Blue Coats served 10 people. Last year, the 501c(3) nonprofit served nearly 2,500 people.

“Our mission is basically to ensure that in America nobody freezes to death,” says Patty Summers, president and CEO of Youngstown Blue Coats. “We do that by providing anyone we meet with a warm coat, hat, scarf, gloves boots. Completely cover them in outerwear from head to toe.”
