 Well, we have already seen some snow in some parts of our viewing area and if you're in need of some new winter gear before it all starts, the United Way of Bemidji has got you covered. The annual coats for the Community Distribution Drive will be held this Saturday at First Lutheran Church in Bemidji. It starts at 9 in the morning and goes until 1 in the afternoon. There is no requirement such as proof of income to pick up winter gear. All ages and sizes are also welcome from kids to the elderly. This is a day where any person can come and collect any cold winter items that they may need. Each year we have a typically about 2,000 cold winter items go out the door and that includes mittens, scarves, hats, boots, and of course coats. And this program was created to ensure that people in our community can have stay dry and warm in the cold Bemidji winter. Now all extra gear will be sent to United Way's partner agencies to ensure they all get used in time for the winter.
