Today marks the final opportunity for community members to donate coats and warm winter outerwear to the 28th annual Warm Up Marshall County Winter Coat Drive, sponsored by Oliver Ford Lincoln.
Donations of coats and winter clothing can be dropped off at Oliver Ford Lincoln on East Jefferson Street or the GIANT fm WTCA studios in downtown Plymouth.
The coat drive has a rich history spanning nearly three decades. It began 28 years ago when Steve Keiser shared his concern with his boss, Jack Oliver, after seeing children walking to school in sweatshirts during the cold winter months. Oliver encouraged Keiser to find a solution, and from that conversation, the Warm Up Marshall County coat drive was born.
Collected coats will be distributed to those in need at the National Guard Armory, located at 1220 West Madison Street in Plymouth this weekend. Distribution will take place this Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to noon, and Sunday, November 15, from noon to 2 p.m.
For more information about the campaign, community members can follow Oliver Ford Lincoln on Facebook and Instagram.
