MINNEAPOLIS — The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) is launching its annual campaign to collect cold-weather items for people in need.
Things being collected are new or used coats, hats, mittens, boots, scarves, hand/foot warmers and new socks.
Donations will be accepted until Feb. 28.
The public can donate at several drop-off locations or ship items by mail to the Sheriff's Administration (address below).
HCSO is partnering with the Hennepin County Library System to make it easier for people to donate by bumping up the number of drop-off locations.
