3rd Annual Cops and Coats Winter Coat Drive - The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is proud to host our 3rd Annual Winter Coat Drive, and we are once again asking our community partners and residents to help us provide new winter coats to students in our local schools.This year, we are pleased to partner with Franklin County OEMC, Pheasant Hollow Winery, Southern Illinois Youth Empowerment Network, and the Franklin-Williamson ROSC Council to provide additional drop-off locations throughout our community.We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and support, and we ask our other community partners to join us in this important effort by helping us collect new winter coats for local students.Many families throughout our region face financial challenges, and something as simple as a warm winter coat can make a tremendous difference. Your donation can help provide warmth, comfort, confidence, and a smile to a young student during the cold winter months.We are accepting new winter coats in children’s X-Small through adult Large.Over the first two years of this program, more than 400 winter coats were provided to local students — and that would not have been possible without the generosity of our community.Please consider supporting the Cops & Coats program.New coats may be dropped off at any of the listed collection locations.E-commerce orders may also be shipped directly to one of the participating drop-off locations.Every coat makes a difference. Together, we can help make sure that local students have a warm coat this winter.Thank you for your continued support of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and, most importantly, the children and families of our communities. The coat drive runs through December 1st. Sheriff Kyle Bacon
