Organizers say they have been contacted nonstop by agencies needing help as the temperatures drop.
YORK COUNTY, Pa. — A York County organization is seeking the public’s help to collect as many coats as possible for families in need ahead of the upcoming winter season.
Coats of Friendship is looking to collect 8,000 coats this year to distribute across the York County community.
“A lot of adults have spare coats, but we know that parents can donate their kid’s coats because kids grow out of it really fast,” said Vice President of Coats of Friendship Emerson Rankin. “So, we really need kid’s clothes so all the kids can stay warm too.”
There are several drop-off locations throughout York County.
Coats of Friendship is not only accepting coat donations, but it’s also asking for scarves, hats or gloves.
“No matter how old you are, no matter what gender … if you have an opportunity, take it and help somebody else out,” said …
