Erie News Now wants to thank the community for its support of our 2019 Community Coats project at Perry Square.

The community showed its generosity by dropping off warm winter coats and other winter gear, such as hats, gloves and scarves, Friday morning through Sunday afternoon.

People could stop by and pick up what they needed to keep themselves or family warm this winter with no questions asked.

Thank you to everyone who donated and the City of Erie for its help with the initiative.
