To help homeless people stay warm in the winter, Veronika Scott created the EMPWR coat. This water-resistant, self-heating coat transforms into a sleeping bag for nighttime and a crossbody bag for the off-season.
It began as a class project. Veronika and her classmates were challenged to design something that fills a need in Detroit. She came up with her innovative coat after doing research at homeless shelters.
While the coats are definitely useful, Veronika realized that many homeless people needed more long-lasting help-jobs. To give homeless people a chance at financial stability, she started The Empowerment Plan. This non-profit employs individuals from shelters to make the coats, then donates them to people living on the street around the country. The company’s workforce is able to give back while getting back on their own feet.

I know this is a brilliant idea. I'd like to make a quilt and raffle it, then use that money to purchase blanket for the homeless. Some stay by the beach and in the winter it gets very cold. I remember reading about your coats/sleeping bags. However, I saw your prices today and I want to give to as many as I can. So, I will have to stick to the blankets. I am listening at this moment, to a certain pair of jeans being sold for $150.00, when they're so many homeless people, kids out there. I wish I could do like you and provide jobs to the homeless. Yes, I agree, they need to feel confident once again. To know someone is listening and wants to provide for them a chance, an opportunity to give them a chance. Life has beaten them down and I want to let them know it does not have to be that way.
