South Elgin group taking coat donations

Visiting Angels of South Elgin is sponsoring its third annual coat drive through Nov. 15.

They will collect new and gently used coats, hats, mittens, gloves and scarves to warm the hearts and bodies of those in need. Here is your chance to clean out your closet and get rid of those old coats that haven't been worn in years. All donations will benefit the Wayside Center in Elgin.

Your donations can be accepted at the following collection sites:

• In the lobby of River Crossing Condominiums, 10 N. Gilbert St. in South Elgin.

• Butera Finer Foods, 1175 W. Spring St., South Elgin.

• Visiting Angels, 65 Woodbury St., South Elgin.
