COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The spirit of giving is continuing this Christmas season in the Branch County area, with an outpouring for the annual Coats for Kids campaign.
The coat drive is organized through the Coach Eby Youth and Family Center in Coldwater, and co-director Dave Anderson says they have already passed out around 250 coats to needy adults and kids this fall. Hats and gloves are also given away. Last year around 500 people were served.
In addition to the Coach Eby Center, Oriole Automotive in Quincy and Amerigas in Coldwater are acting as collection locations.
Anderson says the primary need is greatest now for infant, toddler, and pre-teen coats and other outerwear. The coats are distributed at the Coach Eby Center at the corner Chicago and Clay Streets in downtown Coldwater.
