We are hosting a coat drive to collect gently worn or new coats from November 3rd to November 28th at the Community Center, Franklin Park Ice Arena, and Centre at North Park. Area residents are invited to make an immediate impact in our local community by donating to the coat drive and helping us reach our goal of collecting 250 coats. Last year, more than 4,000 individuals, organizations and companies across the country worked with One Warm Coat to collect nearly 500,000 coats that were distributed to children and adults in need across the United States.
