As cooler weather approaches, New Zion and Caring and Sharing in Unity are teaming up for a community coat drive to help local families.

Donations of new and gently used coats, jackets and sweaters for children and adults are welcome. The drive runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, and anyone in need may attend.

To coordinate donation drop-offs or for more information, contact Mary Lou Blackley at 318-481-0227.
