Officials with the Erath County Courthouse and Erath County United Way have partnered for a program aimed at keeping residents warm this winter.
Becky Keith, HR director at the courthouse, said the drive is ongoing through Dec. 20
ECUW executive director Lisa Scroggins said the coats will be boxed by sizes and taken to local food pantries where they will be dispersed.
“All the coats stay local and are given to people in Erath County who need them,” Lisa told Beneath the Surface News.
You can drop off new or gently used coats in any size on the first floor of the Erath County Courthouse, sheriff’s office or Dublin Annex.
What a great idea! Donating coats is one of the easiest ways to make a real difference this season. I was just browsing Rainbow Shops reviews for some budget-friendly outerwear. Lots of people say their coats are warm, decently made, and way more affordable than big-name brands, so it’s a good reminder that you don’t have to spend a ton to give something helpful.
