The Recreation Department of the City of Bethlehem has began the annual coat drive, which runs Nov. 1 through Dec. 7.

Gently used coats may be dropped off anytime in one of the bins located at City Hall, 10 E. Church St., and the Earl E. Schaffer Municipal Ice Rink, 359 Illick’s Mill Road.

The coats will be donated for use by more than 750 families of the Northeast Ministry Community.
