SAUGERTIES, N.Y. -- Local businesses are teaming up to warm up the Hudson Valley one coat at a time.

Dutchess Outreach and Guardian Self Storage are doing their annual coat drive. Guardian Self Storage will collect coats at its 14 locations throughout the Hudson Valley through the month of October. The coats will be given to Dutchess Outreach, People’s Place and Newburgh Ministry.

This is the 23rd year for the coat drive.
