Last year, Indianapolis witnessed record cold temperatures. Many homeless veterans were shivering outside, not wearing warm clothing. EnviroForensics, full-service environmental engineering firm, had to do something.

Employees organized the 3rd annual “Coat Drive for HVAF” and was supported by Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP. Donors dropped off new or gently-used winter coats to 16 locations across Central Indiana.

“We are very grateful for EnviroForensics to spearhead this much-needed coat drive,” said Debra Des Vignes, VP of marketing. “We’re very proud that they are our partners in this effort and thanks to the compassion and generosity of their staff, family, and local community, we are able to collect around 100 coats.

“We find it important as an organization to help those who are less fortunate in our community,” says EnviroForensics Sales Manager and Marketing Coordinator Dru Shields, Additionally, we are deeply grateful for the men and women who have served in our country’s Armed Forces. We want to aid in getting struggling vets back on their feet and this coat drive is a way of showing our appreciation for their service.”
