Haley Gray, youth services coordinator, poses with a few of the coats to be given away by the Selbyville Public Library and Operation Warm in 2022.
The Frankford Public Library will hold a coat giveaway on Wednesday, Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The library has received 117 coats for children and youths up to Size 18, according to Library Director Bonnie Elliott.
The coats will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, Elliott said. The library also has some hats and gloves available, and those will also be offered first-come, first-served, she said.
The coats will be distributed in the library’s conference room throughout the day, until they are all given away. No reservations are necessary, according to Elliott.
“Just walk in,” she said.
Operation Warm is a national nonprofit agency that provides new coats and shoes for children in need to 2,100 organizations and corporations across North America. In its 24 years of service, Operation Warm has served more than 5 million children.
The Frankford Public Library is located at 8 Main Street, Frankford. For more information on the coat giveaway, call Bonnie Elliott at (302) 732-9351.
