The Operation Warm it Forward coat rack outside Memories in Focus Photography, 521 Central Ave., is looking much fuller after community members dropped off donations over the cold weekend. Just days prior, the rack was nearly empty. Even boxes of food were donated over the weekend. Organizer Linette Nelson shared her gratitude to the community for the donations and emphasized that this is just the start of a long, cold winter. “Truth be told, these coats will not last the season,” she said. “Please don’t stop dropping off coats, even if the rack seems full.”
