A Winter Coat Drive is underway to provide warm coats for children and adults who may not have the financial means to purchase appropriate winter clothing.

“No one should have to face the cold winter months without a warm coat,” Coordinator Theresa Britt said.

Local businesses, churches, community organizations, community leaders and individualsare asked to support the coat drive by donatingnew or gently used winter coats for children and adults.

“If you would like to make a donation, arrange a coat pickup or learn more about how you can support this effort, please contact me by calling 850-371-0184,” Britt said.

A coat distribution and gingerbread house decorating party will be held Saturday, Dec. 5, at10 a.m., at Loughridge Park.
