American Legion Post 154 is collecting winter coats for its annual Coats for the Community program. Coat distribution dates and locations have been scheduled around the county.
American Legion Post 154 has started collecting winter coats for its annual Coats for the Community program, now in its 11h year.
The organization is seeking new or clean, gently used winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens and scarves, along with blankets, to help keep our neighbors a little bit warmer this winter. Children’s coats are particularly in demand.
Last year, the group gave away more than 1,600 coats.
Donations can be dropped off at ProCare Physical Therapy, St. Rt. 706, Montrose; St. Paul’s Church, 276 Church St., Montrose; and American Legion Post 154, 14515 State Route 3001, Montrose.
Money donations are also welcome and will be collected through November.
Anyone who needs a warm winter coat is welcome to these free events. Coats are scheduled to be distributed at the following locations:
*Christ Church, Forest City, October 5, 6, and 7
*Christ Church, Susquehanna, October 13, 14, and 15
*American Legion Post 154, Montrose, October 17 and 18
