Empowering the DFW Community, One Coat at a Time.
Welcome to Open Arms Family Outreach, where we believe that everyone in the DFW metroplex deserves to stay warm, regardless of their circumstances. Our primary goal is to provide coats to those in need throughout the DFW metroplex. Through community support and generous donations, we strive to ensure no one has to endure the cold without the comfort and protection of a coat. By contributing to our cause or volunteering your time, you can help spread warmth and bring a smile to countless faces. We've seen the difference a single coat can make in someone's life, and we're committed to expanding our reach with each passing year.
About us
Our mission is to help any Man, Woman, and Child in need in the DFW Metroplex.
How It Started
The Journey Began with a Single Run in 2010
The Event That Changed It All was a 5k run hosted by Hope Supply. Every runner, including me, was asked to bring diapers to support Dallas children in need. The Realization occurred as we dropped off the diapers, our conversation shifted from gifts under the tree to something more fundamental: staying warm. Children can come to terms with fewer presents during holidays, but they should never have to understand the feeling of being cold. Our Mission Was Clear, from that day, we pledged to keep as many children warm each winter as possible. Starting with our personal contribution of 5 coats, every additional coat meant success. Our Achievement: Fast forward to today, our village has grown and we've proudly donated over 1,000 coats to children in need!
“Every coat donation represents not just warmth, but also hope, love, and a community that cares.”
— Tiffany Jenkins, Founder and Owner
How To Get Involved
As the chill in the air intensifies, there are countless souls who feel its bite more deeply than others. For them, warmth remains an unattainable luxury. But together, we can change that narrative.
Donate a Coat, Donate Comfort
Every coat in your closet, seldom worn or outgrown, could be a beacon of hope for someone. It's not just a piece of clothing; it's the gift of warmth, dignity, and a brighter winter for someone in need.
Not a Coat? Contribute with Cash
Every monetary donation, no matter how small, goes a long way in our mission. Your contributions allow us to buy, transport, and distribute coats to those who need them most. It's an investment in warmth, in humanity, and in making our world a little cozier for all.
Generosity Defeats the Cold
By donating to our cause, you're not just giving a coat or money; you're gifting warmth, spreading love, and most importantly, showing someone out there that they are not forgotten. Let's ensure that no one has to face the cold alone. With your help, we can wrap our community in comfort, one coat at a time.
