New England winters, even the mild ones, are nothing to trifle with. That's one reason coat drives are such a big part of holiday giving around here.
Patch has made it easy for you to find coat drives nearby. So take a look at your closet and see if you can't part with a few of yours. You could even buy a new one and give it away!
