9th Annual Winter Coat Drive

For the ninth year, North Bay and Area Realtors Association (NBARA) members collected winter essentials for those in need.

The 2025 drive supported Outloud North Bay, a local charity serving all youth ages 10-18 regardless of identity, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, culture, abilities with support services including mental health workshops, harm reduction, suicide prevention, educational help, life skills programs, tutoring, and job readiness.

Donations were delivered in December 2025 by NBARA Representatives: Austin Braganza - Director, Jolene Greer - Executive Officer, Anita Kapitanchuk - President, and Amy Hamilton - Director and were received by Seth Compton - Executive Director/Founder of OUTLoud North Bay.

Thanks to the collection efforts, OUTLoud North Bay not only outfitted their members and families but were able to open the doors to any members of the public in need of winter items.

Sincerest appreciation goes out to all who contributed by promoting, collecting, and providing donations in support of this initiative.
