Beta Sigma Phi of Clinton is kicking off their annual coat drive this week to benefit DeWitt County DOVE.

Donna Hall with the women's group explains this is a project they have done for over 20 years and are asking the community to donate gently used coats and other winter items like hats and gloves to go toward DeWitt County DOVE.

Hall says once the drive ends, October 27, they will wash them and turn everything over to DOVE and they will distribute those to the community. Last year, the group collected about 150 coats in total to give back to the community.

Drop off locations include the Clinton IGA, Clinton Save A Lot, Clinton YMCA, Warner Library, Lane Christian Church, Clinton Elementary School, and Lincoln and Douglas Schools.
