Neil Huffman Auto Group Smashes Records with 5th Annual Winter Coat Drive

At Neil Huffman Auto Group, we know that our community has a big heart, but this year, you truly outdid yourselves. We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our 5th Annual Winter Coat Drive, held in partnership with One Warm Coat®, was our most successful campaign to date! Because of your incredible generosity, we collected a staggering 460 coats this season.

When we kicked off this drive back in November, our goal was to build on the momentum of previous years. We knew the bar was high after our 2024 total of 370 coats, but the community stepped up in a major way.

That is a 24% increase in donations year-over-year. Every single one of those 460 coats represents a neighbor in Louisville, Frankfort, or Clarksville who will stay warm and protected from the elements this winter.

This initiative wouldn’t be possible without our partnership with One Warm Coat, a national nonprofit that provides free coats to children and adults in need. Since the drive began, our dealerships have served as collection hubs, making it easy for customers and employees to drop off new or gently used outerwear during their regular service appointments or while shopping for a new vehicle. The coats collected during this drive are distributed locally, ensuring that the impact of your donation stays right here in our own backyard.

"We are beyond grateful for the overwhelming support from our customers and team members," said Kim Huffman, Coat Drive Ambassador and Managing Partner. "Surpassing our record with 460 coats is a testament to the compassion of this community. A coat is a basic necessity, and seeing everyone come together to provide that warmth to 460 people is truly inspiring."

Whether you dropped off a single toddler-sized jacket or a bag full of heavy winter parkas, you made a difference. At Neil Huffman Auto Group, we’ve been family-owned since 1969, and it’s moments like these that remind us why we love serving this region. While the coat drive has wrapped up for the season, our commitment to the community never stops. Stay tuned for our upcoming events and initiatives as we continue to find ways to give back!
