Cape Cod Winter Coat Drive Scheduled Amid Frigid Temperatures
The drive is a joint effort from the Barnstable Police Department, People of Action and Kiwanis of Hyannis. Here's what to know.
BARNSTABLE, MA — It's been frigid across New England for the better part of this week, and Cape Cod has been no exception.
Temperatures are expected to warm up a bit over the weekend, but it can be difficult for those without proper winter attire to go outside.
This weekend, a collaborative effort between three local groups will hope to help at least some people with that problem.
