October is just around the corner! The Harrisonburg Fire Department second annual Winter Coat Drive will kick off October 1, with donations of new, unused winter coats needed for students ages elementary to high school. Coats can be delivered to the Harrisonburg Public Safety Building at 101 N. Main St. in Downtown, or at any of the City’s four fire stations.
Last year’s event, which sought to collect 100 coats in its inaugural season, resulted in more than 200 coats going to children in Harrisonburg schools. This year, HFD is hoping to surpass those numbers with at least 250 donations.
Coat donations are due by October 31.
Participating fire stations are located at:
• HFD Station 1 – 80 Maryland. Ave.
• HFD Station 2 – 380 Pleasant Valley Road
• HFD Station 3 – 299 Lucy Drive
• HFD Station 4 – 210 E. Rock St.
