GREENFIELD — Greenfield’s annual coat drive is underway, seeking donations to benefit homeless individuals and others in need of warm clothing this winter.
Local resident Avelina Torres is spearheading the coat drive for the seventh year in a row, and once again she has partnered with the Greenfield police and fire departments on the collection project. Her daughter Valerie is also helping this year.
New and gently used coats of any size may be dropped off inside the containers at four locations:
- Greenfield Civic Center, 599 El Camino Real;
- Greenfield Fire Department, corner of Oak Avenue and Fourth Street;
- Greenfield Community Science Workshop, 45 El Camino Real; and
- Office at Patriot Park, 1351 Oak Ave.
Donations will be accepted until Dec. 14.
