Evergreen Realty Leads 9th Annual Coat Drive in Vancouver, WA

By Jacqueline Smith

Jacqueline Smith started in real estate in 2015 and sold 52 homes her first year in the business as a solo agent. After considering growing her own team, and exploring different team models, she decided to partner with Place in 2017. The partnership allowed her to fast track her growth, and provide better systems and models to her agent partners. Her and her team in Vancouver Washington now close over $165M in annual sales volume, while keeping the quality of the agent and client experience at the forefront.

If you’ve lived in Vancouver, WA, for any length of time, you already know how cold our winters can get and how hard that can be on families who are struggling. A warm coat isn’t just clothing; for a child, it can mean comfort, confidence, and the ability to simply show up to school without freezing.

That’s why I’m proud to invite you to support Evergreen’s 9th Annual Coat Drive for Kids, a community effort to collect 2,000 new or gently used coats for children across Southwest Washington.

This drive helps kids from 12 months to 18 years old, with a special focus this year on coats for toddlers to pre-teens, where the need is greatest. Whether you’re cleaning out your closet or grabbing an extra coat during your holiday shopping, your donation can make a real impact.

We’ve made it easy to participate. Drop off locally, ship online, or attend our 2nd Annual Fall Fashion Show kickoff event in Camas, in collaboration with Arktana. However you choose to give, you’ll be helping a child in your own backyard stay warm this winter.

When: November 21 - December 15, 2025

Goal: Collect 2,000 kids’ coats (especially sizes 12mo–12yrs)
