Rogers Pharmacy launches annual coat drive

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Rogers Pharmacy is hosting its annual coat drive, marking the fourth year for the event.

This year, the drive will focus on providing coats for the homeless. Gloves, hats and scarves can be donated as well.

Rose Hatfield, Rogers Pharmacy lead clerk, said the drive has received quite a bit of donations, but is hoping to see more.

"We are still trying to get more coats, scarves, hats and gloves so we can get that passed out to the homeless and also to the food kitchen," she said.

Hartfield also expressed that she enjoys being able to provide this resource for the community.

"It gets cold in the wintertime. I just started doing this and I just feel like it's a good thing," Hatfield said.

Rogers Pharmacy is accepting all donations, which can be dropped off in the box at the front entrance until Thursday, Dec. 11.
