lying around in your closet or packed away in a box that is unlikely to be opened anytime soon? If you answered yes, then visit one of the nine Next Generation Children's Center locations in the Greater Boston area.

The Coat Drive, which has been running since the beginning of September, is set to end on October 10th. That means only eight days are left to come to the rescue of a child who will otherwise go cold this winter. Donations extend to all new and gently-used children's winter coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves.
