Folks in need of coats to keep warm can turn to the Eastern Area Agency on Aging.

All five area agencies held a coat collection.

For every coat collected LL Bean made a five dollar donation to the Keep Me Warm Fund, which helps folks heat their homes.

And this year they raised more than 6,000 dollars for that

The coats have all been cleaned and now need to be picked up by anyone who can use them.

"A lot of people ignore their own needs. They're caring for other family members. Especially older women who are caring for family members who might not be well. They don't buy themselves coats for decades. So if you're one of those people feel free to come in and look for a coat."

To find out where the closest agency to you is located and when you can stop by to get a coat call 1-877-353-3771.
