This week’s video features commentary on a reported shortfall of thousands of winter coats. You can read more about this at the Chicago Tribune.
You can support Cradles to Crayons Chicago’s “Gear Up for Winter” campaign with a new or gently used coat by visiting their website.
The Chicago Bears annual coat drive runs through February 10. Donations can be made at all 189 Jewel-Osco locations in Illinois. If you are in need of a coat or have questions, please call the Salvation Army holiday hotline at (773) 205-3690.
