Oberacker Kicks Off Winter Coat Drive
OTSEGO COUNTY—State Senator Peter Oberacker, Otsego County Sheriff Richard J. Devlin Jr. and Angel Network of Cooperstown President Laurie Williams have formally announced the start of the First Annual Senate District 51 Winter Coat Drive in Otsego County. According to a press release issued Monday, December 2, this initiative is part of a district-wide effort to ensure no one must face the winter season unprepared.
“As we approach the holidays, it’s a time to reflect on our blessings and give back to those in need,” said Senator Oberacker. “This coat drive is a way for our community to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors. A warm coat can mean so much, especially during this festive, yet often difficult, season.”
The coat drive encourages donations of new or gently used winter coats and jackets for adults and children. Donations can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Sen. Oberacker’s office at 41 S. Main Street, Oneonta. Donations collected in Otsego County will directly benefit local families through the Angel Network, officials said.
