Organization gives out winter coats in Mishawaka

Second Coat Ministries held its winter coat giveaway Saturday.

The event, which lasted until noon, gave away coats, scarves, gloves and hats to needy families.

Hosted at River Valley Church, organizers say there was a great turnout with a line out the door an hour before opening.

The organization collects coats through donations, collections and special sales.

Collection for next year's event will begin again in the spring.
