Keeping our community warm

At the start of 2024, Strictly Apple launched Strictly Giving, a dedicated branch focused solely on giving back to our community. In August, we provided meals and school supplies to 500 children, setting them up for a successful school year. Now, as the holiday season approaches, we're aiming to make an even greater impact.

If you’ve spent time in Ohio, you know how harshly cold winter nights can be. Not everyone in our community has the essentials to stay warm, and we’re determined to change that. Our goal this Christmas season is to distribute 1,000 coats to those in need—and we need your help to make it happen.

We've partnered with the local charity organization, Jordan’s Crossing, and together, we’re collecting winter essentials: coats, gloves, hats, and scarves. You can support in a few ways:

  • Purchase from Our Amazon Wishlist: We’ve curated an Amazon list for easy ordering; items ship directly to us.
  • Drop Off or Mail Gently Used or New Gear: High-quality coats and gear will last longer and provide warmth for winters to come. Drop-off locations are listed below.
  • Make a Donation: 100% of proceeds go toward purchasing winter gear for this event. Every dollar helps!

Drop-Off Locations:

  • Strictly Apple
    3721 Thistlewood Drive, Suite B

Join us on Friday, December 6th, at 5 PM at the Jordan’s Crossing Resource Center for the big event, where your donations will reach those in need. To ensure we’re ready, please send all donations by November 29th.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Community@strictlyapple.org.

Your support means the world, and if you can’t donate, please share our mission with your networks—friends, family, churches, and other community groups. Together, we can make a difference this winter!

Thank you for being part of this effort to spread warmth and compassion across our community.Â
