The United Way of Mower County will distribute coats to people who preregistered through the Community Outerwear Drive for Kids from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday at Oak Park Mall.

United Way officials collected new and gently used winter coats, caps, mittens and other outerwear as part of its annual drive for children. Last year, United Way gave about 430 coats to children, according to executive director Mandy Lighthizer-Schmidt.

The coat drive began in 2006 and has increased in need every year.
