Forsyth County, GA – The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is inviting residents to lend a hand this week during its annual Coat and Cold Weather Items Drive, happening Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in front of the Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the drive welcomes donations of coats, hats, blankets, and sleeping bags, both new or gently used, to help keep neighbors warm through the colder months ahead. The initiative is held in partnership with the Knights of Columbus and the Community Coat Closet.
Organizers say the event is an opportunity for the community to come together and support those struggling during the winter season. Donations collected will be distributed locally to ensure Forsyth County families stay safe and warm as temperatures continue to drop.
“This is about spreading warmth and compassion,” the Sheriff’s Office said in its announcement. “Come out, give back, and help make a difference right here in our community.”
Residents are encouraged to stop by the Sheriff’s Office to drop off items or volunteer to assist with collection efforts throughout the day.
