Bertino-Tarrant will also be collecting winter clothing to help local organizations in need of all sizes of new winter gear including coats, socks, sweatshirts, scarves, gloves and more.

The winter months are a terrible struggle for low-income families, seniors, veterans and the homeless.

“Seniors, children and veterans in our own communities may struggle to afford the proper winter gear to survive the season,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “I’m spearheading this warm clothing drive to help ensure no one goes cold during these winter months. If you have coats, gloves, hats or sweatshirts lying around the house, please consider donating them.”

Bertino-Tarrant urges residents to contact her office with questions and concerns at (815) 254-4211 or visit http://www.SenatorBertinoTarrant.com.
