With the recent dangerously cold temperatures, Porchlight’s Emergency Shelter for Men is seeking donations of men’s winter coats sizes large and above, according to a report from Channel3000.
Two hundred forty-eight people came into the shelter on Tuesday night, one of the highest numbers Porchlight has seen this winter. Porchlight doesn’t turn anyone away from the shelter, but with so many seeking protection from the cold, it is asking the community to donate new or gently used coats. The nonprofit is also looking for men’s socks, boxers, and hygiene products.
Donations can be dropped off any day of the week from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Emergency Shelter for Men at 2002 Zeier Road or at Porchlight’s second location at 306 N. Brooks St.
