Stop by with your gently-used coat donations tomorrow to join Stove Top Stuffing and United Way as they spread the warmth in the Twin Cities. Your coat donations will help support the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities, Catholic Charities or Community Emergency Assistance Program.  Each charity will have its own donation bin and the charity with the most coats at the end of the event will receive a donation of $2,500, in addition to all the coats!  Come on by tomorrow to support your favorite charity and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.
