Pontiac, MI – The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is calling on residents to help keep local families warm this winter through its annual “Coats for the Cold” drive, which continues through the end of November.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the long-running campaign—led by Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard—collects new and gently used coats for men, women, and children in need across Oakland County. Residents can drop off donations at dozens of sites, including police departments, businesses, and participating sponsor locations.
This week, the department thanked the Norma Group in Orion Township for stepping up as a key contributor. “Coats for the Cold” is supported by community partners including 1-800-Self-Storage.com, Genisys Credit Union, Max Broock Realtors, and McKenzie Moving Professionals.
The sheriff’s office noted that donations will be distributed through local charities to reach those most affected by Michigan’s dropping temperatures.
