The annual Star Valley Coat Drive is collecting gently used and new winter clothing—including coats, boots, gloves, scarves, snow pants, and hats—through October 31, with free distribution at the Thayne Community Center on November 7 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Collection boxes are located at Broulims in Afton, the Thayne Senior Center, the Etna Community Center conference room, and the Alpine Post Office. Now in its fourth year, the drive has served between 100 and 250 people annually, with new coats and boots in all sizes consistently in high demand. The event is sponsored by Morning Star Baptist Church in partnership with Alpine Christian Fellowship, Bomgaars, New Hope Fellowship, River of Life, and Star Valley United.
