WHITING — AristaCare at Whiting is collecting new and gently used coats this season as part of a communitywide effort to support local residents facing winter hardships.
The facility is serving as a public drop-off location for coats, jackets and vests of all sizes. According to organizers, all donated items will be distributed to individuals and families before Christmas to help ensure neighbors in need stay warm through the coldest months.
Donations are being accepted at AristaCare at Whiting, located at 23 Schoolhouse Road. The final day to contribute is December 22.
AristaCare officials thanked the community for its continued generosity, noting that each coat donated plays a meaningful role in supporting vulnerable families during the holidays.
