The Brookings Rotary Community Coat Drive, organized to help the Share The Warmth event sponsored by the Salvation Army to provide cold weather garments for area residents in need, was a huge success. In three hours, we gathered more than 200 coats, jackets, snow pants, and hats/mittens/scarves/socks. Thanks to Dakota Bank for extending the use of their parking lot for the drive-through collection, and for bringing coffee out to the volunteers!
