Ward 4 City Councilor Patrick Keefe, Michael Digangi, and Matt Parlente are organizing the event, with the support of Volare and Mayor Brian Arrigo.
“I encourage all residents to come out on December 20 to support families in need as we head in to the winter season,†said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “Thanks to Councillor Keefe, community volunteers, and Volare for help making this happen.â€
 “It’s great to have community partners like Volare, Mike Digangi and Matt Parlente to help put this together. We all just want to put as many coats on kids’ backs this winter as possible.â€
 “No kids should go without coats during the winter,†said Salvo Gaglio of Volare restaurant. “We care deeply about our community and are happy to host this event, which will allow us to give back to those in need.â€
