‘Take a coat, leave a coat’
The 'take a coat, leave a coat" rack is available again this year outside of Main Street Realty in Buffalo. Anyone who needs a coat is welcome to take one. Anyone who wants to help is encouraged to leave a coat. The past two years the community has helped Main Street Realty give out hundreds of coats. "I had this idea and it has started to bloom into something much bigger than I anticipated. The support from the community has been amazing! " Amber Miller shared. The rack is outside of Main Street Realty, 1330 S. Ash St., Buffalo from October until the end of January. It is available 24/7 for anyone who would like to stop by. There is a variety of sizes from infant to adult.
