ONE of the best things about winter is being able to rug up with a warm blanket, or to wrap up in a coat when going outside.
But not everyone has warm clothes and blankets, and the team at Yarra Valley Innate Chiropractic are calling on residents to donate items as part of its annual coat drive.
The coat drive aims to gather up as many coats and blankets as possible, to be donated to charity groups across the valley, including Warburton’s Redwood Community Centre.
Jana Faulks at the clinic told the Mail that residents could take warm items to the business’s three clinics in Mount Evelyn, Yarra Junction and Yarra Glen.
In recent years, hundreds of coats made their way to residents in need through the coat drive, and Ms Faulks said that about one hundred had already been donated during this year’s drive.
“We’ve already got quite a few bags of coats ready to go,” she said.
“Some lady dropped off a lot of kid’s ones, too, which is kind of nice.”
Coats and blankets can be donated to clinics at 10 Station Street Mount Evelyn, 4 Hoddle Street Yarra Junction or 2 Bell Street in Yarra Glen.
For more information, call 9730 1019.
