The temperature reached 82 degrees Friday (89 is the record) but 96 winter coats were delivered to ReStore to be given to children in need. Don't let the warm temperatures fool you, winter is on the way, be prepared.
Thanks to the Knights of Columbus in Kenton, many children in Ada will have warm winter wear.
The free coats will be given out starting Thursday, Oct. 13. The child receiving the coat must be accompanied by a parent, one coat per child. The coats mostly fit kids from 4 to 11 years of age.
ReStore, at 210 N. Main, is open 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
