Faith Mission organizers need your help as the cooler temperatures take over Texoma.
They say they're in desperate need of adult-sized coats, including those sized 4X and 5X.
So far, more than 250 coats have been distributed this winter.
Many of those were given to children in need.
Organizers say they're very grateful for those donations, but they want to remind donors that adults are in need of coats, too.
Steve Sparks, executive director of Faith Mission, says, "It's hard to imagine that not everybody in Wichita County has a coat right now, but there are some people out there that are still needing coats, particularly those large sizes. We've had men come in looking for 4X and 5X, and we don't have any of those sizes."
Faith Mission's drop-off dock is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day.
So if you want to help out, simply drive up to the dock during those times and unload the items you wish to donate.
