Teddy Bear Picnic 2026

At Western Heating & Cooling, we believe that caring for our community means showing up for the organizations that make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors. We are honored to support the Amani Center through volunteer opportunities and community events whenever we can. The Amani Center provides a safe, child-friendly, trauma-informed environment where children who have experienced or are alleged victims of abuse, neglect, or violence can receive specialized forensic and medical evaluations, advocacy, and compassionate support. Their work helps children and families navigate incredibly difficult circumstances with dignity, care, and hope. We are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside an organization whose commitment to protecting and supporting children makes Columbia County a stronger, more compassionate community.

Comfort Drive

The Story Behind the Comfort Drive

The Comfort Drive was born from the moments that stayed with us long after the workday ended.

As an HVAC company, our technicians are passionate about helping families stay safe and comfortable. But there were times when they left homes feeling defeated because they couldn't provide the heating relief a customer needed. Some families simply couldn't afford the necessary repairs or replacements, and others didn't qualify for available financial assistance.

We knew we couldn't solve every problem, but we believed we could still make a difference.

That belief inspired the Comfort Drive.

With the incredible generosity of our Columbia County community, clothing donations began pouring in. Every item is carefully washed, dried, and prepared with dignity before being offered back to our neighbors completely free of charge. No questions asked. No judgment. Just neighbors helping neighbors.

Today, the Comfort Drive provides clothing for every stage of life—from infants and toddlers to children, teens, and adults. Depending on the season, families can find everyday clothing, jackets, hoodies, hats, scarves, gloves, and other warm essentials, along with lighter clothing during the warmer months.

While we may not always be able to restore comfort inside every home, we can help make comfort more accessible in another meaningful way.

This mission would not be possible without the partnership of our co-founder, Amber Bathon of Columbia Health Services. After hearing our vision, Amber and her team embraced the idea and helped transform it into the community outreach program it is today.

The Comfort Drive is a reminder that when a community comes together with compassion, small acts of kindness can make a lasting difference.
