Outgrown the Winder Coat? Give it to Charity.

The Island Packet

Coat drive founders Robyn and Larry Mark have begun accepting jackets, coats and thick sweaters for the 20th annual Furniture Warehouse Design Gallery Coat Drive. Over the past 19 years, the coat drive has helped collect and distribute more than 33,000 coats to Lowcountry families. Last year, the drive collected 3,166 gently used outerwear items. This year the goal is 3,483 items.

The drive runs through Dec. 31.
