More Than a Coat Giveaway

Winter can be tough, but nobody should have to face it without a little support. We’re bringing Baltimore together for more than coats. We’re creating a space to connect with neighbors, discover community resources, share a meal, and enjoy a little fun along the way. Because when we look out for one another, the whole community feels the warmth.

Here's What's Bringing the Warmth

More than one day. More than one event.

Baltimore, We've Got Each Other.

A coat can help someone through the winter. A warm meal can brighten an afternoon. But a genuine connection? That can last long after the season changes.

That’s what Rally & Release is all about. Creating moments that bring neighbors together, building relationships, and reminding each other that there’s still a whole lot of good happening right here in Baltimore.

The warmth doesn’t have to end when the event does.

Rally & Release

With purpose.
