The Dublin Chamber of Commerce and its young professionals group - NextGen Dublin - are collecting coats and food for those in need through Dec. 20.

Non-perishable food and coats may be dropped off at the chamber (located at 129 S. High St.) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week. Donors may also bring the items to any chamber or NextGen Dublin event.

As part of the drive, Dublin Cleaners will clean donated coats, which will benefit Welcome Warehouse in Dublin. All food items will be donated to the Dublin Food Panty. For more information, or to find out how to get involved, call the chamber at 614-889-2001.
