A local nonprofit organization held its annual coat drive Saturday morning to help people without homes in Jacksonville.

A 16-year-old is continuing her mission of helping those experiencing homelessness in Jacksonville by hosting her annual coat drive.

Coats and other warm items donated through 15-year-old Hannah Hall’s nonprofit were given to people experiencing homelessness in Jacksonville.

It has been a few years since 15-year-old Hannah Hall launched her nonprofit "Hannah's Hope House," which collects new and gently used coats, gloves, hats, socks and blankets to gift to those experiencing homelessness.

For the second year in a row, 13-year-old Hannah Hall is collecting new and gently used coats to help keep the homeless warm this winter

News4Jax first met Hannah Hall last year as she was collecting hundreds of masks and coats for those in need over the holidays and her desire to help hasn’t stopped. She hopes to continue her mission for decades to come.

For eight years, News4Jax has consistently featured people and groups who are making a Positively Jax difference in our community. Today, we look at some of what's been accomplished and look ahead to doing even more.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A girl who organized a coat and mask drive in Jacksonville last year was honored Sunday with the Good Deed Award from the American Legion Auxiliary. In December, Hannah Hall collected new or gently used coats of all sizes and masks that had not been used to help those in need. Hannah Hall said she came up with the idea to put together a coat and mask drive after she saw some homeless people while going to an appointment. “I only had $5, so I just gave it to them and I said, ‘We can do more. We can really help them in a way that they need it,’” Hannah said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hundreds of coats and masks were donated Sunday to people within the community who are less fortunate. The coat and mask drive was organized by a 12-year-old girl. “I got a lot of coats and masks,” Hannah Hall told News4Jax on Sunday when the items were handed out in Jacksonville. She helped me separate the coats and put them in bags.”Both of Hannah’s parents are proud of her. She always, as a little girl, she has had this desire to help people who are less fortunate than she is,” said Hannah’s father, Walter Hall.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 12-year-old girl in Jacksonville is helping those in need this winter. Hannah Hall is collecting coats and new masks at All People International Church this weekend. “I really want to help them so they don’t get coronavirus and they can really stay healthy and get the help that they actually need,” said Hall. Hall said she came up with the idea for a coat and mask drive with her mom after she was driving to an appointment and saw a homeless person. “Even though I am a child, I will help them,” said Hall.

STARKE, Fla. – A Bradford County couple were arrested Wednesday morning after their 3-year-old son was found wandering alone outside an apartment complex, the Starke Police Department said. Hannah Hall, 24, and Justin Mayberry, 22, both face felony child neglect charges. Police were called and eventually spoke to Hall and Mayberry, who both told officers that they fell asleep and had no idea their 3-year-old had left their third-floor apartment by himself. News4Jax crime and safety analyst Gil Smith said the couple could have done more to keep their child safe. The manager told officers that the complex had a new chain installed to prevent this from happening again.
