Coat drive benefits local pantry

Farmers Bank and Trust is having its annual coat drive this month.

Every year Farmers Bank and Trust hosts drives for school supplies, Christmas toys and coats. This year's coat drive was kicked off by GQ Fashions donating 23 new coats in several sizes. The drive collects coats to give to the Blytheville-Gosnell Area Food Pantry.

"This is one of our major drives of the year and we expect to receive between 70-100 coats," said Sharon Quast of Farmers Bank.

Coats can be new or used, in any size and any weight. Those wishing to donate coats can drop off their donations at any of the Farmers Bank and Trust locations in town. For more information call 870-763-8101.
