'Coats for Kids' helps area residents stay warm this winter

A local partenership is helping kids stay warm as the temperatures get colder.

The Parenting Place in Tomah is partnering with the Lighthouse Assebmbly of God for a clothing drive.

They are looking for winter apparel for kids in need living in Monroe County.

Last year the drive helped more than 400 families.

There are bins set up all over Monroe county for you to donate any unwanted winter clothes.

Organizers say it's a chance to make a difference in your community by helping those who need it the most.

It's one less struggle one less thing they have to worry about, so having it available and no charge and the community is donating them, it's an amazing feeling and it would be another barrier some families.

The drive ends October 19th.

For more information on how to donate.
