PROVIDENCE, RI Rhode Island lawmakers collected more than 2,600 hats, blankets, coats and other winter outwear during this year s coat drive. The supplies will be distributed to the homeless throughout the state.
The drive was organized by Sen. Dawn Euer and housing advocates, who came up with the idea during a meeting about housing bonds. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Buy Nothing Day at the State House was canceled, leaving advocates concerned that the needs of the homeless would not be met.
