One realtor. One idea. Thousands kept warm every winter.
Valorie Blanchard · Founder
The Founder
Local realtor Valorie Blanchard started the Wall of Warmth in 2017 as a way to give back to her community.
What began as a simple idea grew into a cherished tradition, providing winter coats and outdoor gear to neighbors in need. When Valorie stepped down in 2025, the Hall Foundation took on the project, ensuring the tradition continues for years to come.
“I started the Wall of Warmth with one wall, a handful of coats, and a big dream to give back to the community I love. Since then, it has grown into something far beyond what I imagined. We’ve seen people come for coats for their loved ones, volunteers show up in snowstorms, and even children give their own jackets to help another child stay warm. This project has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. We cannot thank the community enough.”

How it works
Drop clean, gently-used coats between Oct 13 – Nov 18 at one of 55+ donation boxes across East Idaho. Snow pants, hats, gloves, and scarves welcome too.
Brad Hall Company employees organize the coats and hang them on Wall of Warmth fences in each community. JustServe volunteers keep the walls stocked and tidy all season.
Between Nov 10 – 21, anyone can take a coat off the wall — for themselves, family, or friends. No questions asked.
