As temperatures continue to drop, individuals will begin breaking out warmer clothing when they prepare to leave their homes. Unfortunately, not everybody has that option. The national organization Warm Up reports that every winter, 14 million children across the country go without adequate winter wear.
Several area businesses are doing their part to cut those numbers down locally by hosting drop-off locations for the Warm-Up Marshall County Coat Drive.
According to the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce the coat drive collection period will run through November 13th. Freshly cleaned, gently used coats can be dropped off at Beacon Credit Union, Louis Plumlee DDS, Walmart, WTCA, Pilot News and Oliver Ford Lincoln.
If your family is in need of assistance this winter, coat distribution will be conducted at the National Guard Armory on Saturday, November 18th from 10:00 a.m. to noon and Sunday, November 19th from noon until 2 p.m.
