All items collected will be donated to Sharing Connections to benefit those in need in the community. Items will be collected through Jan. 13, 2014.

The coat drive is organized by the VOICE Committee, a voluntary group of village employees with the goal of supporting humanitarian efforts in the organization and the Downers Grove community.
