The Salvation Army is once again collecting coats for distributions in St. Joseph.

The agency is taking donations of gently used or new coats and other accessories like gloves mittens and hats. The items will be distributed to individuals in need during the Salvation Army’s coat drive set for Nov. 7.

“The coats must be clean and ready to wear,” said Major Abe Tamayo with the Salvation Army. “Ask that you donate coats that don’t need buttons sewed on or repaired and that they have working zippers.”

Donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Corps Community Center located at 7th and Messanie in downtown St. Joseph from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The agency said receipts for tax credit are available.

The warm clothing will be distributed Saturday, November 7th at The Salvation Army Corps Community Center from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
