A warm wish this Easter
2 min read

As we approach the Easter long weekend, it's a time for reflection, renewal, and, most importantly, giving.

For many, the holiday marks a moment to spend time with loved ones, enjoy the holiday festivities, or simply relax. But for others, the colder months bring added challenges, especially for those in our community who may not have the warmth or comforts we often take for granted.

This year, OBrien Real Estate is taking a step to make a difference through their inaugural Easter coat drive, inviting locals and tourists to donate pre-loved coats, jackets, blankets, sleeping bags and winter accessories to be distributed to people in need across the community.

The initiative provides an opportunity for individuals to clear out their closets, pass on pre-loved items, and know that their donations will go directly to local charities and individuals who need them most.

This simple yet powerful act of kindness has the potential to make a significant impact, especially as the colder months continue to pose challenges for vulnerable members of our society.

The drive is to be conducted across OBrien Real Estate's network of offices, located in Cowes, San Remo and Wonthaggi, which will serve as collection points for donations from now until May 1.

With multiple convenient drop-off locations, donating is as easy as clearing out your closet and dropping into your nearest OBrien office. Whether it's a coat you no longer wear or an extra scarf or pair of gloves, your donation will go directly to those in need, spreading warmth and comfort during a time when it is most needed.

In a world where it's easy to get caught up in the rush of everyday life, OBrien Real Estate's coat drive serves as a reminder that a business can play an active and positive role in addressing the needs of its community and that small acts of kindness can have a far-reaching impact.

Donating a coat may seem like a small gesture, but for someone in need, it can be a lifeline - a way to stay warm during those tough winter months.

So, as we prepare to celebrate Easter with family and friends, let's remember that there are many in our communities who could use a little extra warmth. Let's make this Easter about more than just chocolate eggs - let's make it about spreading warmth and kindness.
