Two churches are asking local residents to help give the gift of warmth.
Salina's Sunrise Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church are collecting new and clean, gently used coats to be distributed to those in need.
"If you would like to purchase coats to donate, we suggest that you purchase children's coats or children's socks and underwear," the churches noted in information provided to Salina Post.
Those wishing to donate items are asked to take them to Salina First Presbyterian Church by Wednesday. The church is located at 308 S. Eighth Street.
Distribution of the items will be during the Salina Coat Drive, scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 23 in Blair Hall at First Presbyterian Church, 308 S. Eighth Street.
For more information, contact First Presbyterian Church at 785-825-0226.
