Spread the Warmth 2026: Help Blue Ridge Spread the Warmth This November!

As colder weather settles into northeastern and central Pennsylvania, having a warm winter coat can make a meaningful difference for a child in our local community. This November, Blue Ridge Communications is once again inviting customers to come together and help us Spread the Warmth! 

From November 1 through November 30, 2026, when you add or upgrade your Blue Ridge Internet service or add your first Blue Ridge Mobile line, Blue Ridge will donate a brand-new winter coat to a child in need.

Through the Spread the Warmth initiative, Blue Ridge has helped donate thousands of coats over the past decade, helping local families prepare for the colder months ahead. The campaign brings together our customers, employees & community partners around one goal: helping children in the communities we serve stay warm!

Each year, Blue Ridge employees from departments across the company also come together to volunteer, sorting hundreds of new, stylish winter coats at one of our facilities before they make their way to children & families throughout our local communities. It’s a hands-on tradition that makes Spread the Warmth especially meaningful for our team.

Our charitable partners include Pocono Services for Families and Children, Ephrata Area Social Services, Greater Carbondale YMCA and Valley Youth Initiative. The impact of that support can be felt throughout our local communities.

“We are so thankful for the support of Blue Ridge. They are making a difference in the lives of our children and our children’s families. Many children will be smiling in a warm coat this winter. Thank you for all that you do.” says Jess Millard, Chairman of Valley Youth Initiative
