The Lockport Resource Center Annual Coat Drive and Distribution is in full swing. As noted in the Lockport Legend, we are in the process of collecting gently used coats, hats, scarves, mittens and other winter gear for distribution. This year we are teaming with the folks at Whizzy Puff Sweet Spot and Sizzles Restaurant, both located in the Sizzles Plaza at the corner of MacGregor and Thornton Streets in Lockport.
Donations may be dropped at either the Whizzy Puffs location during their normal business hours each morning where you can also pick up fresh bakery and coffee or enjoy their cereal bar, or Sizzles Restaurant, an annual Best Restaurant award winner, serving a variety of tasty fresh lunch and dinner selections.
Donations may also be dropped at the Lockport Resource Center Pass It On Thrift Shop at 944 N. State Street in Lockport, during normal business hours.
On Saturday November 2, we will hold a sorting event at a location to be determined, to sort coats by size.
Distribution will be Saturday November 9th at Sizzles Plaza. A suggested donation of $5 per coat is requested, however, nobody will be turned away if unable to pay.
