As the temperatures drop, the City of Lansing 7th Annual Coat drive will indeed collect items needed to keep people warm. It runs now through November 7.
They are collecting new or gently used winter coats, hats, and gloves for both adults and children. Donations can be put in bins outside of City Hall and inside several other convenient locations throughout the city:

While all sizes are welcome, there is a special need for larger men's sizes.
