With the help of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington, four churches are asking for the community’s help to collect 10,000 winter coats for those in need.
“We don’t care if you go to church, don’t go to church, if you have a need for winter clothing … we want to help you,” said Patty Tang, director of parish operations for Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Annandale, Virginia.
Organizers are also hoping to collect new hats, gloves and scarves. For those who can’t physically drop off items, there’s also an Amazon Wish List they can purchase items off of.
