Worcester County Sheriff Kicks off Winter Coat Drive
The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Worcester County Reserve Deputy Sheriff’s Association goal is to deliver 4,000 new warm winter coats to those in need to help them stay comfortable during the winter months.
Starting Tuesday, October 22nd, and continuing into the first week of November, Sheriff Lew Evangelidis and his team will distribute thousands of coats directly to community members and organizations. These coats will provide warmth during the colder months and serve as a symbol of support and care from local law enforcement.
“Every year, we have the joy of handing out these coats, which symbolize much more than just a winter jacket – they represent a community that cares,” commented Sheriff Evangelidis. “The people who receive these jackets are grateful for the gesture from the Sheriff’s Office. This is a special time of year for the Sheriff’s Department, and we’re excited to connect with the community members we serve.”
