Fulton County Pack A Back Pack is reminding locals in need of coats this year about their drive going on right now inside Tidewater Executive Tax Services.
Fulton County Pack A Back Pack Director Jacki Johnson said they currently have about 60 coats left, along with a large supply of hats and gloves, all with the tags still on them.
The program was started eight years ago by Johnson. She says the look on the kids faces makes the coat drive worth it each year.
Johnson reassures parents that Fulton County Pack A Back Pack never shames families who may need a little extra help this winter. Those in need may pick up coats anytime during Tidewater business hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 806 Main Street in Rochester.
Johnson also thanks the community for helping make the annual coat drive possible.
Johnson said there is no set date for when the coat drive ends. Also, anyone from outside the Rochester area is welcome.
Before making the extra trip, Johnson said families are welcome to call her office at 574-213-9649 and check to make sure the coat drive has the sizes they need.
