A local association is hoping to bring a little warmth to those who need it during the chilly holiday season.
The Girard Estate Neighbors Association held its annual coat drive on Dec. 8-9, collecting crucial supplies to help the less fortunate fight the bitter cold. Collection bins were stationed outside the Taproom on 19th along Ritner Street in the Girard Estate neighborhood for easy no-contact curbside drop-off.
