This year’s VOCM Cares Coats for Kids campaign is entering its final stretch.

The campaign, which has been running for over three decades, has helped thousands of families keep warm during the winter.

There are varying donation restrictions in place at various drop-off locations throughout the province.

The foundation is asking that all items be either gently used or new, and not have broken zippers, been soiled, or torn.

Donations can be made until Friday.
