A local group of volunteers in Elliot Lake is hosting the annual Elliot Lake Coats Drive.

Spokesperson Jason Tilley says donation bins have been set up at Rona, the TD Bank, Scotiabank, Dunlop Lodge and T&R Variety in the Paris Plaza.

He says the winter wear can be dropped off at any of those locations until late this week.

He says the pickup of items and distribution will take place throughout the day at Collins Hall on October 15th and is free to anyone who needs assistance.

All clothing items are being accepted including for children.
