Scotch Fabric Care’s annual Share the Warmth program collected and gave away more than 2,300 coats this year in Lawrence.

Scotch, with the help of the Lawrence Salvation Army, conducted a two-day giveaway earlier this month for those in need of coats. In Topeka, another 9,055 coats were collected, cleaned and given away.

The coats are collected all year by Lawrence-based Scotch Industries.

Coats left over during the giveaway were then distributed to agencies that have clothing banks.

“We find a home for all of them,” said Scott Shmalberg, president of Scotch Industries.

Scotch issued a special thanks to students, parents and administrators at Langston Hughes School, St. John’s School and Southwest Junior High School for collecting coats.
